Not bug and not Cisco's. This is a _feature_ of OSPF.
Standard defines no way to clear LSA database, so, if you change topology,
old data could mess OSPF operation, until they are expired (some very
long time), or router is rebooted, or OSPF is disabled and re-enabled again.

I wish that Cisco implement a command to disable OSPF process without
removing all OSPF configuration (something like "dlsw-disable" command).
