That is indeed undesirable. Could you send me the log output from tinc when
that happened, and also the log output after doing "tincd -n <netname> -kUSR2"?
That would help me find out what is causing the incorrect behaviour.

There is no bugtracker, reporting it here on the mailing list is the correct
thing to do.
