Let me clearify that IPv6 is not peculiar for this bug.
The corresponding thing happens for IPv4.

The problem is that the option '-p' is not independent of
option '-s':

   nc6 -p 54441 -s 2001:491:43:7a::a glimp.remote 3928

is correctly working.

The failure, when eliminating the option '-s ...', displays
that the source code for netcat6 is incorrectly initializing
the TCP header, since it does not pick a functional local
address as origin, instead it always picks the relevant
loopback address, leading to a spoofed/corrupt TCP package.
