Thank you, I will try that. I just found out how to look with gdb where
it hangs and came (though guessing) to the same conclusion. It loops
over lines 386-388 in nest/iface.c. Your solution should fix it.

How complicated is it to run plain wheezy on the edgerouter lite? It seems
very limiting in some points as nice as it is to have that software and
hardware around at that price. The "easy to use" gets in the way quite
often for some users.

Thank you for that. So I can sleep peacefully again :).

Best wishes,
