Lately, I experienced problems in my setup, too. I’ve got a very simple 
network with one central server and one, sometimes two clients connecting to 
it. I didn’t have the time to investigate, but after reading this, I tried to 
set this option to "no". Now everything works fine, again.

Is this considered a bug? Is there a work-around or something I can provide in 
the package of tinc, so other users might not run into this issue, when 
upgrading? I can’t think of a way to force this option into user’s config 
files, when they do an upgrade. Neither do I have a clue, how to communicate 
this.

bye then
