Yes this has happened a few times, also things like very long
AS paths and address family interfaces would take GateD down alot. [I
must confess to not have used Zebra] The fix for this that I
deployed in GateD was to add large chunks of code to ignore anything
that it didn't understand, some of these were complete botches but it
stopped the gated.core's from appearing.
