While I agree that crashing in an IPv4 only environment is a bug, I may use the
opportunity to point out that with increasing penetration of IPv6 we may see
more of these or similar problems in the future. Dual stack or DS Light will
soon be the norm rather than the exception and as a consequence sloppy
programmers will skip testing in an IPv4 only environment, resulting in bugs
that do not emerge in a dual stack environment. Not good, but it will happen.

Having said that, this may be an incentive to upgrade your system for IPv6
capability. It is unavoidable in the long run, so why not start now?

See you in the IPv6 echo.


Cheers, Michiel
