Hi all,

I am using Linux 2.6.32 kernel and Bird 1.5.0. I configured a BFD 
session in order to cover my BGP session as this:
protocol bfd mybfd {
         neighbor fec0::a:cf:0:2 dev "tking";

}

If I start bird with this config it crashes with the following error 
message:
2015-05-26 19:15:50 <ERR> mybfd: Socket error: SO_PRIORITY: Operation 
not permitted

After applying a hotfix to the SO_PRIORITY handling BFD works.

>       return 0;

Best regards,
Thomas and Eric
