Hello, last night we made two changes to our BIRD config: * enabled ASPA validation (logging only) * added "-R" to BIRD_ARGS (/etc/bird/envvars) after that we run "configure" on birdcl. After that bird started to crash in a loop. We decided to rollback the ASPA configuration change to restore a working setup. This did not help. Then we decided to remove "-R" from BIRD_ARGS and that helped. For this reason we did not include the ASPA config changes in this email since they appear to be not relevant for the crashes. We assume "-R" causes the crashes. Is this a known bug that is solved in 3.2.0? We would like to have graceful restart support but we are a bit hesitant with "-R" now ;-) Logs: 2026-01-05 01:15:31.820 [0001] <INFO> Reconfiguring 2026-01-05 01:15:31.822 [0001] <INFO> Cannot add channel r3k.aspa 2026-01-05 01:15:31.822 [0001] <INFO> Restarting protocol r3k 2026-01-05 01:15:38.339 [0001] <INFO> Reloading channel anexia_v4.ipv4 2026-01-05 01:15:38.339 [0001] <INFO> Reloading channel anexia_v6.ipv6 2026-01-05 01:15:38.366 [0001] <INFO> Reloading channel nextlayer_v4.ipv4 2026-01-05 01:15:38.367 [0001] <INFO> Reloading channel nextlayer_v6.ipv6 2026-01-05 01:15:38.367 [0001] <INFO> Reconfigured 2026-01-05 01:15:42.397 [0002] <BUG> Assertion 'r->cur' failed at lib/lockfree.c:229 Jan 05 01:15:42 bird.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT Jan 05 01:15:42 bird.service: Failed with result 'signal'.
