Hello,

Few days ago I used to run bird-1.0.11 heavily patched on Debian Sarge,
well I finally upgrade to Lenny and decide to try latest Bird from your
Debian repo.

So I upgraded to 1.1.0 and after some tweaks to the conf file IPv4
worked perfectly, IPv6 will not launch dying with error:

"Linux implementation of IPv6 doesn't support multiple routing tables"

I upgrade to 1.1.1 and the same.

As that error is no longer true for latest Linux kernels I start
searching for the patch that I previously applied to my working setup
(which I attach here for your consideration) and now bird6 starts, but
after a few seconds later it dies with:

"<BUG> as_path_getlen: Invalid path segment"

Any ideas?

Thanks!

PS. bird6 package is missing in your repo.
