No, I regret, I haven't, but I will after my return to my desk at the lab.

No, on all machines, those running firefox 3.6 cleanly and those which 
are unwilling IPv6 is not enabled.

On the box in question, een thundebird 3.0.1 is crashing spontanously, 
while it isn't on those boxes which also run Firefox 3.6 cleanly. This 
puzzles me and I suspect either SMP (could it be threaded perl/python?) 
or a faulty library of X, which isn't built when performing 'portmaster 
-f firefox'.
