Hi,
we're running redundant pairs of routers using keepalived for VRRP and
BIRD for OSPF. (bird-1.3.3 through bird-1.3.6 actually)
Static routes are configured in BIRD so when keepalived transitions to
master state it adds ip addresses to a bunch of vlan interfaces and the
routes' gateways become directly reachable and are being announced.
Now when I failover from one primary router to a backup router by
stopping keepalived the interfaces' addresses are being deleted on the
former master and added to the backup router.
Immediately after such a transition all BIRD routers fill their log
files periodically with this kind of messages:

proto/ospf/lsupd.c says this should never happen:
/* Probably flushed LSA, this should not happen */
log(L_WARN "OSPF: LSA disappeared (Type: %04x, Id: %R, Rt: %R)",
lsr->lsh.type, lsr->lsh.id, lsr->lsh.rt);
Is this some bug in BIRD or caused by the way we use it?
