ppp glitch in 4.9-RC4

I have noticed a (probably minor) glitch in the user-ppp program, ppp(8).
When the ppp program first connects to the ppp server, it generates a
few error messages of the form:

    Warning: ff02:6::/32: Change route failed: errno: Network is unreachable

The network connection works just fine in spite of the error.
I suspect that the specified address is IPV6ish and the presumably
broken facility might just be irrelevant since I don't use IPV6.
In any case, I get this error message on 4.9-RCx but not on 4.8-Release
using the same ppp configuration file and ppp server.

Just in case it might be useful to someone trying to understand this,
here is the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file on my 4.9-RCx system (with some
names and a password changed to protect the innocent):

	default:
	  set log Phase tun command
	  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
	  add! default HISADDR
	  set timeout 0
	  resolv writable
	  enable dns

	myisp:
	  set device PPPoE:em0
	  set authname myauthname
	  set authkey myauthkey
	  set dial
	  set login
	  open
