Thanks for the patch but it's far too late for 2.2. I'll not add it
before the release.
Also, I won't add the patches for #4 above. IPv6 ins Linux 2.2 is
broken. Therefore people who are honest about using IPv6 have to
update. It is wrong to pollute the code with compatibility code for
non-standard broken code.
If you can remove this code and resend it I'll consider it for 2.2.1.
