Hi,

sorry for digging up this thread.

I just wanted to let you know, that (thanks to your help) we could talk
to the Cisco TAC and explain this issue and have workarounds that
somehow fixed this behavior.

They acknowledged that this is a bug (now listed as CSCvm39227) since
it's a violation of RFC 2545. They are working on fixing it and might
even provide patches (SMU) for some platforms.

Cheers,
Sebastian
