Running BIRD 1.3.4 on custom config Linux 3.8.13 kernel

[Bao Nguyen]

We testing BIRD on a custom 3.8.13 Linux kernel and seeing this message
every 20 seconds. We did not see this on 3.2 kernel release by Ubuntu 12.04
LTS release. Is there any chance that there's a kernel config that's needed
by BIRD that we are not aware of? I notice that the "wait 20" is the only
time that matches this interval in the log...

Here's our OSPF config.

protocol ospf {
  import filter import_OSPF;
  export filter export_OSPF;
  ecmp 4;

  area 0 {
    interface "eth0", "eth1" {
      cost 100;

      type broadcast;
      hello 10; retransmit 5; wait 20; dead 40;
    };

    interface "dummy0" {
      stub;
    };
  };

Here's the kernel config related to the NETLINK stuff.

root@sja15:~# cat config   | grep NETLINK
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_ACCT=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG=m
CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m
CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK_TIMEOUT=m
CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER=m
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE_CT=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y
CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y
