Hi, It appears there is a segfault in the route specific filters, this was initially observed during a `configure`, but appears to be easily reproducible with startup config. Environment: OS: Ubuntu Focal/Xenial (from latest image on DockerHub) GCC: 9.3.0 / 5.4.0 Bird: 2.0.7 (from https://bird.network.cz/download/bird-2.0.7.tar.gz) / 61dae32 from Git Build options: --enable-debug / no options Reproduction configuration file; ``` router id 192.0.2.0; protocol device {} protocol static { ipv4 {}; route 192.0.2.0/24 via "lo" { return false; }; } ``` Backtrace; ``` Reading symbols from bird...

Let me know if you need any more info. Cheers - Damian
