I would never expect an "entering" message to print out after the event happens, and in fact I'd _always_ want to see it beforehand so that if the state change caused a crash or similar it'd be that much easier to pinpoint the proper location. I'm still not applying this. If the other log messages behave differently, they are broken, so go fix those instead. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
