[Olsr-users] High CPU utilization

[Adam Wozniak]

I'm using olsrd-0.5.6-r8 on two machines.

One is my laptop, and x86 machine with both a wireless adapter, and a 
wired connection to the internet.
The second is a small ARM based machine with only a wireless adapter.

I start them up and configure the wireless cards in ad-hoc mode and give 
them IP addresses 172.20.0.1 and 172.20.0.2

I start up olsrd on the console of the ARM machine.  Things look fine.

I then start olsrd on the console of the x86 machine, and the ARM 
machine goes nuts, hitting 90% to 95% CPU and spitting all kinds of 
messages to the console.  (see below).

I've also included an olsrd.conf file (below).

What the heck is going on here?  Is this normal / expected behavior?
