this node sees nine neighbours, but none of the neighbours is symmetric.
Neighbour detection works as follows. A node sends out a HELLO message
that contains the IP addresses of all neighbours that the node sees. So,
if I receive a HELLO message that contains my IP address I know (1) that
I see the neighbour as I've just received its HELLO message and (2) that
the neighbour sees me as my IP address is listed in the HELLO message.

Here we seem to face the case where we receive HELLOs from nine
neighbours, but these HELLOs do not contain our IP address, i.e. the
neighbours do not see us.

Could you capture debug output for this node and for one of its
neighbouring nodes at the same time and post it to this list?

Thanks,
-Thomas
