Sorry about taking all day to get back to you, but it's been hectic, again.
Ok, I've installed the patch and booted back into the 4.0-RELEASE GENERIC
kernel. Everything looks good so far, but I'll leave the machine running
GENERIC overnight and see if anything develops.
I think I wasn't clear enough in my original report -- I'm not seeing this
problem with the custon kernel I'm normally using, which has no IPv6 support,
so I personally am not too bothered about getting an immediate fix, although I
expect that someone out there will probably be grateful. Happy to test
patches etc. though.
Cheers,
Matthew
