I forgot credit where credit is due.
it was jsing@ who did the work you should have done, finding out what
actually causes the crash. a null pointer deref in case of a ICMPv6
header in an IPv4 packet.
it was jsing@ who went further and found the spot in the code
misbehaving in that case. And it was him who fixed it. With a little
input from me, but he did all the work. The work you should have done,
at least partially. You did nothing but whining, as usual.
