EHOSTUNREACH returned for refused IPv6 connection

  I'm experiencing something which may be related. I posted a question in
the FreeBSD Forums: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19895

  I don't get anything displayed at the application (ftp / telnet / etc.)
level - it just hangs until the connection eventually times out. I do see
unreachables getting into the FreeBSD box - it just seems like they don't
make it down to the application level. The post I linked above has a more
detailed description, as well as tcpdump output and so forth.

  System is 8-STABLE as of November 28th, but I see the same thing on a
6-STABLE from February 2010.
