(usagi-users 03860) Re: Bug related to advanced IPv6 Socket API

Hi Mael,

This bug has been reported by Masahide Nakamura from USAGI on the  
MIPL ML. He has provided a patch here:
http://www.mobile-ipv6.org/pipermail/mipl/2007-May/006853.html

You'll find a similar patch on this list in a mail I sent today with  
several UMIP patches.

Cheers,
romain
