I apologize for the delay in responding. I have tried the patch and it does fix the problem. Namely:
Before the patch, starting Bird 1.5.0 with all interfaces LINK DOWN would leave the OSPF interfaces in Down state, from which they would never recover. Sometimes (perhaps a race condition?) Bird would actually quit with the log message "Iface eth1 in down state?" from the OSPF protocol (eth1 area 0.0.0.0).
After the patch, this no longer happens. Starting Bird with all interfaces LINK DOWN leaves the OSPF interfaces in Loopback state, and they recover to Waiting when link is brought up.
Thank you for the help and sorry again for the delay. Not always easy to find time to set up a testing lab with the day to day work.
