I also found a crash (probably unrelated to IPv6). In this syslog, I booted the Live CD on a computer connected to a dual- stacked network using wired ethernet. As in test #1 above, it connected only using IPv4, apparently ignoring that the default IPv6 mode was «automatic». I entered the connection editor, looked around, and pressed save/apply/ok (or something like that) - without actually having changed any of the settings. NetworkManager instantly crashed:

Now it *DID* attempt DHCPv6 as well, however it failed for four consecutive times with the «didn't bind to a lease» error, until it finally succeeded on the fifth try, this time correctly configuring all IPv6 information.
