The patch "seems to work" on first glance, but I haven't looked deeply
at it yet and therefore it doesn't have my Reviewed-by, even though I'm
submitting this patch on the author's behalf. And it should probably get
a good look from the v6 fib folks. The original author should be on this
thread to address issues that come off, and I'll shephard additional
versions that he has.

Does the fact that the author responded to the patch undermine the need
for this special handling?
