errata and patches have been issued for 4.3/4.4. 010: RELIABILITY FIX: February 18, 2009 All architectures bgpd(8) did not correctly prepend its own AS to very long AS paths, causing the process to terminate because of the resulting corrupt path. A source code patch exists which remedies this problem. ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.4/common/010_bgpd.patch ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/4.3/common/010_bgpd.patch
