We had been using quagga-0.99.20 for more than a year with no problems.
We recently upgraded to quagga-1.1.0 and started having problems. After
running for a couple days we would start getting these errors, where the
last 6 characters were random.

Can't open configuration file /home/quagga/etc/bgpd.conf.NeSTFp.
Can't open configuration file /home/quagga/etc/bgpd.conf.KjXzid.
...

I'd restart quagga and it would run fine for a day or two and then the same
problem occurred.

I tried looking thru the mailing lists to see if this has been addressed, but
didn't find anything - but then I couldn't find a way to search for anything
in the quagga mailing lists other than manually thru each message. :(
So, sorry if this has already been addressed.

I made the following change to lib/vty.c and quagga seems to be stable now.
