Same here. Gentoo, Linux 4.19.52, Bird 2.0.4. I am running a full table
using a separate VRF and the default table as management VRF.

Without traffic through the box (all IPv6 prefixes filtered) the bgp
sessions is stable. With traffic the bgp session dies after some time
and ssh connections in the default table freezes.

I did some packet captures and saw tcp retransmissions before hold timer
expires.

Kernel 4.14.127 is here stable, too. Sadly I have no time for a kernel
bisect until September. (And no glue where to start and how to trigger
the bug faster.)
