Why OLSRd does not do this? For example we have everywhere the same
configuration. So it could assume that originators' configuration is
the same as its own and check all this stuff and print some warning to
log or something.

It seems to me it would be really searching for a needle in the
haystack with some other approach. Especially because there is a lot
of data necessary to capture and analyze.

As I started this thread it is obvious that I do not see any problems
with routes being left in place even if they do not work anymore. :-)

Can you check our configuration I posted in prior e-mail?

I disabled fisheye just because of this problems some time ago.
