Sounds like you were affected by the bug.  Anyone would be, if they ran
code from a couple days ago.

When I say a node Y forms an adjacency, I mean Y extracts from its
neighboring router's hello the information that neighbor X exists,
creates an hsls_peer object to keep state for that neighbor, and puts
a linkstate X->Y into its routing table.  The bug I fixed made every
hello packet look like it was empty, so a node would not extract any
information at all from a hello packet.
