Hi Current and Hackers,

	I have only seen this recently and was wondering if anyone else can confirm 
this as a bug or perhaps a setup problem on my end. I think it started to 
appear with 8-Current from about the 25th of march. 

	Any time I do a ping6 or traceroute6 I receive an error stating "Invalid 
value for hints." However, I am able to do all other functions (telnet, ssh, 
etc.)

feathers# ping6 ipv6.google.com
ping6: Invalid value for hints

feathers# traceroute6 ipv6.google.com
traceroute6: Invalid value for hints

my If config looks like: 
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=389b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
        ether 00:1d:7d:07:24:1a
        inet 78.33.110.3 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 78.33.110.31
        inet6 fe80::21d:7dff:fe07:241a%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 2001:4d48:ad51:32:21d:7dff:fe07:241a prefixlen 64 autoconf
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

Thanks in advance, 
Peg
