Which version does this patch against?
I usually run a packaged build but I'm willing to give this a proper go if I can patch 0.24-fixes.
Have been dual stack IPv6 for some years, native with Andrews & Arnold but more recently tunnelled with my current ISP Be. Might have to set some more human readable IP addresses unless Myth has started working with domain names yet?
