BGP and ROS 6 problem

I am using a very simple iBGP setup for a few years now.

routing bgp export 

# nov/03/2016 8:42:02 by RouterOS 5.26
#
/routing bgp instance
set default as=1111 client-to-client-reflection=yes disabled=no ignore-as-path-len=no name=default out-filter="" redistribute-connected=yes \
    redistribute-ospf=no redistribute-other-bgp=no redistribute-rip=no redistribute-static=no router-id=1.1.1.253 routing-table=""
/routing bgp peer
add address-families=ip as-override=no default-originate=never disabled=no hold-time=3m in-filter="" instance=default multihop=no name=router.local.com \
    nexthop-choice=default out-filter="" passive=yes remote-address=1.1.1.254 remote-as=1111 remove-private-as=no route-reflect=no tcp-md5-key="" ttl=\
    255 use-bfd=no

ROS v4 and v5 both are working perfectly OK. When I upgrade to ROS 6 iBGP stops working.

UPDATE

After using v5.26 for a long time only because of this BGP serious issue for me, I decided to try an upgrade again. It seems the problem is solved with v6.42.2 however the problem still remains with the bugfix release v.6.40.8.

No idea. Delete it and recreate from scratch

Why do you use passive=yes?
