[ovs-discuss] Error with ovs-vsctl

[sreepriya]

Ok. But do you have any idea on why the error occur when I try to add a
bridge/port with a proper name (<15 bytes) later?
This doesn't happen when optimisation is disabled. (CFLAGS="O1" is not
given during build. )

Also, even if the port/bridge is not created, it gets listed when I try
$ sudo ovs-vsctl show


Thanks ,
