I don't need the patch yet, will be OOO for the next 3 weeks, my hope  
is that you will release a new version when I return :)

good news: I have configured bird so far that I consider it's features  
sufficient (meaning it does everything we want) for the vienna  
internet exchange. If we get rid of those little bugs (and once I'm  
done stress testing) bird will go into production hopefully by the end  
of this year in Austria. Yay!
