there could be an simple explenation, because i couldn't realy provoke 
it with direct connected machines I did it on one of our least important 
DNS-Server, I did a "bad" everytime the connection fault and did a 
"good" after a some succesful connects (with waiting Time in between). 
If the Bug is based on an ICMPv6 redirect in the meantime a redirect 
could be sent out without me noticing. I did not keep the tcpdump 
running while bisect(?ing?).

I will happily try the patch, when I get to work Monday, weekend is 
mostly for family. ;)
