IPv4 only, or IPv4+IPv6?  Any "soft in" configured?

We have IPv4+IPv6, and the IPv6 have "soft in", because I really like to
be able to see what our peers sent to us before it hit our inbound
route-maps/prefix-lists.  For IPv4, I've switched it off, assuming it
had anything to do with the mem leaks - but it didn't change anything,
so I don't think it has.

What unresolved issues are you seeing?

Overall, we're quite happy, except for the BGP memory leak...
