FYI, the above URL points to an outdated git and may go away; OVS has
migrated to GitHub:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/9a8b5cc1a3d941c0e33f3f5b5ac260a35a8130af

If you accessed the above URL via the OVS website somehow, please get
in touch with me off-list so we can fix the links to point to the
correct location.

I see that Guru has suggested a possible fix; if that does not address
your issue, you could send your question to discuss at openvswitch.org or
open a fresh debian bug (or both!). It would be helpful to provide
related logs (ovs-vswitchd.log and/or syslog), OVS versions and OVS
configuration.

Thanks,
Joe
