Thanks, that might be another possible cause.

This happened on iBGP sessions where I control both sides
or on eBGP sessions, where I also control both sides (and both
run on FreeBSD). I did not change the frr config during updates,
so I did not expect this to break.

Maybe frr on newer FreeBSD versions handles the tcp-md5 case in some
invalid way. That might be the case and this probably needs to
be analysed.
