[OLSR-users] Assertion `metric_counter' failed

Mmmmm...

This drives me crazy...

On that particular node, when I run OLSR in Debug mode, all the links
end up in having an NLQ and ETX of 0.0, so nothing in the routing tables
and of course the assertion never comes...
(see extract of output below)
Maybe the hardware is just too slow when we are in debug mode: I have
another AP of the same type, and:

    * non debug: works ok
    * debug and a few nodes accessible: works ok
    * debug and all 25 nodes accessible: NLQ & ETX drop down to 0 and
      routes are lost


All that to say I can't reproduce the problem in debug mode...
... but I have discovered that one of the neighbour has indeed spurious
changes of IP!
I will fix that and see if it changes something.
