Maybe 'netstat -gn' could give clues, because you should be receiving 
a response at least from the loopback address.  Maybe your loopback 
interface has went down, or ospf6d took it down and back up (at least 
some time ago, kernel's v6 got very confused after that).

You may also want to check out that your link-local address on the 
interface you're pinging is still OK.

# netstat -gn | grep ff02
lo              1      ff02::1
eth0            2      ff02::1:ff7b:259
eth0            1      ff02::1

# ping6 -c 1 -I eth0 ff02::1
PING ff02::1(ff02::1) from fe80::207:e9ff:fe7b:259 eth0: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.057 ms
