This should have been fixed in the latest 7.0.6 release -- is this the
version that you were using?

We discovered that we goofed in 7.0.5 in making code for arbitrary numbers
of network interfaces -- LAM would actually end up looking only at the
first 10. So it shouldn't have anything to do with IPv6 itself, just the
total number of network interfaces.

Let me know if 7.0.6 doesn't fix the problem for you.
