Unknown instruction 8574 in same (~) error when nesting if's

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello,

I am using bird 1.6.3 (from debian) and if I use the following filter,
bird "crashes" when issueing the "conf" command:

Apr 19 21:29:53 router1 bird: Reconfiguring
Apr 19 21:29:53 router1 bird: Unknown instruction 8574 in same (~)


filter:

filter to_netstream {
  if(is_inside_ungleich()) then {
      if(net !~ net_prefer_netstream) then {
        bgp_path.prepend(myas);
        bgp_path.prepend(myas);
        bgp_path.prepend(myas);
        print "Policy: changed bgppath ", net, " ", bgp_path, " for init7";
      }
    accept;
  }

  reject;
}

If I change the filter to

filter to_netstream {
  if(is_inside_ungleich()) then {
    # if(net !~ net_prefer_netstream) then {
    #   bgp_path.prepend(myas);
    #   bgp_path.prepend(myas);
    #   bgp_path.prepend(myas);
    #   print "Policy: changed bgppath ", net, " ", bgp_path, " for init7";
    # }
    accept;
  }

  reject;
}

this problem does not occur.

Is this a bug in bird or am I using it "incorrectly"?

Best,

Nico
