I'm seeing some strange behaviour with bgpd and 3.6 current (well a 
week old but incorporating the latest bgpd with thanks to Peter for 
helping me identify the lost routes bug and Henning for fixing same :)

We're peering with about 30 peers, mainly on net but a couple sending a 
full routing table ... all's working fine, and over half of them have 
md5 passwords configured of varying lengths (from 6 to 18 chars)

However ... we have a couple of peers at least one of whom is using 
Cisco 7204VXR routers running IOS 12.2.17 who we just can't get an md5 
session configured with.

The logs their end just show "No MD5"

Is this a known issue, or is there anything further I / we can do to 
help fix it ?

Remove the md5sig passwords from both sides and we get a session

Kindest Regards
