Just don't use the code for Kompella Layer 2 VPN's.....or at least do some
proper testing first :-) The Layer 2 VPN's work as long as you don't send
any traffic over them :-)
Not sure whether it was code related to be honest, but when I tried them in
Juniper Amsterdam, they worked until I telneted from CE to CE and hey
presto, it kept crashing....
