Are you sure that you have zebra setup correctly?  It's a real pain to
configure - in my opinion.  i.e. Don't the areas need to be specified!?!

I remember getting these "neighbor table overflow" messages but I can't
remember why.  I'll ask at the office to see if someone there remembers.

Errr, um...  I posted this patch a little premature.  We wanted to run
zebra without LANE.  We achieved it with the patch, but it is really 
just a hack.  Besides, this patch was intended for kernel version 2.3.42 
and linux atm 0.67.  It was reported to me that zebra runs over lane just
fine.  (But I never understood how it could, but that's my confusion)


I hope this helps
