  Hello,

I have bird6 (1.2.5) running OSPF and BGP. Everything works perfectly 
until I enable BGP protocol:

bird> enable XXX

10-12-2010 14:37:52 <INFO> Enabling protocol XXX

It is interesting that I also have another router with bird6 running 
OSPF (the same network) and BGP peer without any problem.

The router has 5 GB of free memory.

bird> show memory
BIRD memory usage
Routing tables:     46 kB
Route attributes: 4952  B
Protocols:          72 kB
Total:             151 kB

Any idea?

Thanks

Petr Stastny
