OK. I am installing Fedora 7 right now...

You don't need to install Fedora, just read the code! :-)

The bug is obvious and it's been explained thoroughly in this
thread.

When 'dev' is NULL in ip6_route_add() we need to figure out what
namespace and/or loopback device you want to use.

There is no reason to do an entire dist install to work on fixing this
bug, yikes!

I do understand the conditions when the bug happens. Its completely
clear :) Though I do not understand how to trigger it from command line
to test that the problem is resolved. Jeff was not kind enough to give
exact command line :(

The unfortunate thing with this place is that original Eric's code is
also broken here. I was too optimistic working on the original patchset.
In other way, but broken :(

So, I must stop and think...
