The mm-of-the-moment snapshot 2010-03-23-15-34 has been uploaded to

   http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Seen in my dmesg.  It may be relevant that I'm at home, and my IPv6
prefix arrives via a PPP VPN connection. This happened about 20-25 secon

after I launched pppd.

Yes, thanks, I get the same - it doesn't seem to break anything.  It
also happens some time after boot has completed.

Just doing an 'ifup eth0' on a network with IPv6 on it is sufficient.

I just checked the following into net-next-2.6 which should at least
kill that dmesg log.

If you still are missing your ipv6 addresses, let me know how
they normally get added, maybe that's enough to let me figure
it out.

Confirming looks like a good fix - no cruft in dmesg, and I have ipv6 addresses:

%  ifconfig ppp0
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
          inet addr:128.173.34.103  P-t-P:128.173.32.21  Mask:255.255.255.255

Great, thanks for testing.

Andrew your box should be good now too.
