The Euro-IX folks developed some patches (or maybe some major code
revision), you might want to take a look into that, but I guess you
probably knew that already...

I saw some nasty bugs over the years with Quagga, and noticed the
enormous effort required to maintain the old codebase; enough to make
me always prefer something else. Every now and then a codebase seems
to be more trouble maintaning than scrapping it altogether on the
open-source world, and I'm pretty convinced that this time has come to
Quagga.

If you feel that codebase is worthwhile, I suggest investing a large
amount of Imagestream revenues on restructuring it. I'll be glad to
have Quagga as an option, again.
