Yeah, thanks, I bisected just now and it is this change:

Good to know. Actually, I suppose that means in my pasted output I left 
out the real bug, which is:

    inet6 fd42:d287:488a:d7e8:216:3eff:fecb:d41b/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The lifetimes are *forever* now, but the intention of that commit is 
that they were supposed to be one day (86400 seconds). I think maybe the 
intention of the commit was this (attached)?

Cheers,
