Hmm, this really sounds strange, since the sequence of
nd6_timer()->in6_purgeaddr(), which was an entry point of the crash,
could take place only when an IPv6 address with a finite lifetime
expires.  This could not happen if IPv6 is "NOT explicitly used".
(link-local addresses are automatically assigned unless the INET6
option is removed from the kernel configuration options, but these
addresses have an infinite lifetime and cannot be the cause of this
trouble).

It would be helpful if you can provide the result of "ifconfig -a"
under the configuration that can cause the crash.
