Hi!
As the Debian's maintainer of bridge-utils on my last upload to Debian I
cared to comment the source stating the bugs we had fixed on bridge-utils on
Debian that are still opened on your upstream version, you can get the patch
directly from our debian sources and forget about the debian dir, but I have
cut that out for you and what remains is this:

.B brctl showmacs <brname>
shows a list of learned MAC addresses for this bridge.
-.B brctl setageingtime <brname> <time>
+.B brctl setageing <brname> <time>
sets the ethernet (MAC) address ageing time, in seconds. After <time>
seconds of not having seen a frame coming from a certain address, the
bridge will time out (delete) that address from the Forwarding

If you need comments on the bugs or the solutions or want us to test
different solutions for these bugs just let me know.
Thanks for your help.
