[ovs-dev] new crash with openvswitch-2.4 in ovsdb_datum_equals

[Richukov Kes]

Dear Sir:

We upgrading to openvswitch-2.4 and ran ovs-vsctl set-controller command in a script to point to a controller and soon noticed a crash in ovs-
vswitchd with below back trace. Can anyone please check if this has a fix in newer release or point me to what I am doing wrong?
