I'm getting consistent parse errors from bird while trying to configure
ospf.  I say something akin to the following:
protocol ospf {
    ...
    area 0.0.0.0 {
      ...
    };
  }
And I've tried variations like "area 0 {" and "area {", but no luck with
anything.  I always get a parse error from bird on that particular
line.  I took a halfhearted look at the source and couldn't find anything
in particular.  Help!
Please send me complete bird.conf, I hope I'll help you then.
Okay, here it is.
