FYI

An upstream BFD problem, on which this patch depends, wasn't resolved. 
Consequently, there there was no reason to review the patch - Roland 
should be aware of this since it was Roland's upstream BFD change that 
wasn't resolved.

(Jim, you should remember this, it's where the word "closure" came from).
