Ah yes, I remember stumbling over this (or some similar problem) many
years ago.  Machines that are configured as routers/gateways, as well as
multi-homed end-hosts, aren't supposed to use rtsol.

Also, accept_rtadv is usually 0...I think that our IPv6 startup scripts
toggle it to 1 just long enough to get a route advertisement and then
set it back to 0.
