When you bring up any interface, with explicit IPV6 addresses or not, the IPV6 stack seeks out local routers and whatnot using multicast and assigns the interface a link-local IPV6 address. So no matter what you're doing IPV6. I suspect the OOPS you hit might be related to IPSEC stack work done recently by Herbert Xu who has been added to the CC:. I doubt poor Ilpo should be contacted as I doubt his TCP work is involved :-)
