Think of it like this:

R1-----------bridgesw1=======router6
R5-----------bridgesw1

where ===== is a trunk carrying the vlan traffic from both R1 and R5 which
are both in the same ip subnet.

And, on R6, the 2 sub-int's fa0/x are BRIDGED together.

When you configure this, you can try some of these variations:

ISL vs 802.1q

Make different devices the root bridge and then try diff commands

show span
show bridge 1
debug bridge bpdu
debug vlan [options]

on both the 3550 and R6.

HTH, Tim

Simon,

Could you post the IOS and platform you are using, so we can try to
reproduce it?

Trying to make a model:

R1-----------bridgesw1-----bridger6
R5-----------bridgesw1-------|

There is no loop here, so I can not see STP having a role on this problem.
No matter where the Root is, all ports will be forwarding. But a bug would
not surprise.

Do you have a Sniffer to check where packets stop?
