BGP Traffic Flood

[Nick]

When I downgrade to 1.2.5 the flood doesn't come back.  I ran git commit
e7b4948cbd3e4cacf4fe0f774b44d1f74029ea6d before.  BTW, welterde runs
the same commit, and doesn't get the same flood.  Maybe I will look in
the git log tomorrow.

Their mad rush in getting us out of the country is the greatest proof to
me that I have served the cause of humanity, that I have never wavered
or compromised.
