ospfd priority problem

[Lars Hansson <lars_(_at_)_unet_(_dot_)_net_(_dot_)_ph>]

Running a recent snapshot (a few days ago) ospfd seems to have a problem
with correctly joining an ospf area unless it's router-priority is 0
or higher than the current BDR. Ospfd is here connected to our ospf backbone
wich is a mix of openbsd boxes running gated, Huawei 1760's and Cisco's
running various versions of IOS.
The first output below is after ospfd has been running with a router-priority
of 1 for a couple of minutes, the second one is after a very quick restart (ie
less than the dead time).
It seems it get stuck in a state and doesnt proceed until it has been restarded.
It's notable that on the other routers in the backbone the ospfd box appears
as a full 2way/drother member while ospfd itself seems to think it's still in
exstart. The output also states that the BDR is in FULL/DROTHER but sometimes
it's the DR that shows up in that state. It's never both at the same time
though.
