Hi Alexander,

I tried "debug MLPA1 all" from birdc console, but nothing new appeared in log file.

Currently I rolled back to 1.3.10 version from ports because 1.4.2 started to crash with the following backtrace:

If this crash is interesting to you as port maintainer, I will provide any additional information which can help to understand why it happened.

You can look at detailed protocol status via
"show protocol [nam] all"
You can enable appropriated level of per-protocol debug (e.g. add
"debug { events, states };" to protocol config.
