I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but just a "me too".  I've
seen Quagga behave strangely with confronted with multiple routing
tables, and I haven't seen any documentation on how the interaction is
supposed to occur.

The setup in question has two tables with different default routes.
When ospfd comes up, the box loses connectivity to the outside world
almost immediately.  After a few minutes, it comes back for maybe 10-30
seconds.  I suspect that ospf is getting very confused because of the
routes, killing its network by accident, and then the routes are
expiring.  The box in question is a remote machine that's difficult to
get physical access too, so I can't be 100% sure about what's happening
during the down time.

I'm working on how I can handle the routing without multiple tables, but
in the meantime, if anyone known more about how they interact, I too
would appreciate some pointers.
