0.5.6-rc7 is a horrible (and horrible old) version of OLSRd. I would
suggest moving to 0.6.2 or 0.6.3 as soon as possible, otherwise you will
have to deal with a LOT of bugs which have been fixed for years.

Can you maybe describe what kind of plugins are you using and how your 
configuration file looks (and whats the output of olsrd is when you 
start with your old configuration file)?

I would suggest you post your configuration file and we have a look over it.
