Hey Yon, good to see you're still alive :-)

No such luck :-(

I'm not sure what this one is, I'll have to try it myself and see if I can
reproduce it.

I attempted to remove all of the references to 'tag' and 'tdp' and add
a couple of configure commands (ingress and egress filtering).
It looks like I horked up the show commands though.  I poked around in the
code last night and was unable to figure our what I did wrong.  If you have
some time to look at zldp_cli.c I would really appreciate it.

Hmmm.  It was working.  Then again I usually write one by hand.  I'll
look in to this as well.

Sorry about that ;-)

I'll try to get some more of the zebra stuff working.  I prefer working
with ldp_zebra as opposed to ldp_linux, so it will get fixed sooner ;-)

BTW thanks again for doing the initial zebra work, with out that kick start
I'd still be concentrating on using ldp_linux.
