I guess folks are still resolving it and we promised to give one  
person who wants to submit a paper about it or a similar situation a  
bit time.
Roughly: the effect is that you could see under certain conditions  
that TC packets were dropped and thus routing info would not be  
available.
This was of course a bit unfortunate since 0.5.6-* was now declared  
the -STABLE branch :))


I will let Henning speak about it when he feels it is right.

However, early adopters could already test the development branch   
version of olsrd
     http://gredler.at/hg/olsrd/
and give us feedback! Does the error still occur or not?
Do we still have a different problem in the development branch ?
