1) When SCTP is initialised /proc/sys/net/sctp/prsctp_enable = 1
2) When sctp-tests/testcase/regression/extoverflow/test.sh is executed,
on exit it sets prsctp_enable = 0. This seems to be causing the issue
I'm seeing. I can now simulate the problem:

Running from fresh boot:
checksctp
cat /proc/sys/net/sctp/prsctp_enable
1
./test_timetolive_v6
passes
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/sctp/prsctp_enable
./test_timetolive_v6
fails
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/sctp/prsctp_enable
./test_timetolive_v6
passes

I've no idea why as yet !!!
