Well there's no problem now, after patching Bird. 
But the stock bird would not work with some Cisco equipment.

Either this issues should be researched better and a proper sollution
found or a temporary "--enable-cisoc-hack" to ./configure should be
added that will skip that "return" on line 51 in proto/ospf/hello.c.
