HA MTU error. Shuts down secondary.

Hi, I have version 8.003 with HA setup as Active/Passive.

Two machines are identical. (Dell R210's)
When enabling HA I'm getting an MTU error on the heartbeat link interface and the passive machine shuts down.
Ports are connected via a straight through ethernet cable which has worked previously.

I thought this bug was fixed a long time ago?

Hardware is: eth1 [Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet]
Auto negotiation: On
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Full,10baseT/Half,100baseT/Full,100baseT/Half,1000baseT/Full
MAC Address: 00:26:b9:83:f9:c1
Virtual MAC Address: 00:1a:8c:f0:e3:41
Interrupt (IRQ): 17
PCI Device ID: 0x163b:0x2a5
MII capable: No
HA link monitoring: Yes

OK Bob sent edit instructions via console.
Included here for completeness.

Console or SSH as root:

You can run ifconfig to see the existing MTU, then change it

cc
ha
advanced
mtu$
=2000
or =1500

You need to do this on both the primary and secondary system.
I set both to 1500, by default mtu$ is AUTO.

All working now, but is this a bug as my adapters are pretty common and on supported hardware I believe. Dell R210 standard onboard Broadcom NICs.

Cheers.
