   Thanks Francis, this is starting to make sense.
   But why would it work on Linux, but not on
   Windows?
   
   Let me see what I can find out about this ....
   
=> link-local addresses within scope 0 work on some OSs with
some setups (the idea is to catch old or poorly written applications).
I am afraid Windows is strict about this (IMHO this is the good option)
and Linux with the particular configuration uses a "default interface".
But on a not-fully buggy IPv6 on Linux (perhaps this exists :-),
the Java program should fail as soon as a non-zero "scope ID" (I prefer
the better term "zone ID" but it is too late to change this) is needed,
i.e., at least with link-local addresses or non-global multicast.

Thanks

PS: if the IPv6 support is ported to a KAME BSD, let try the link-local
with zero scope ID with ipv6_default_interface set to NO (the default)
in /etc/rc.conf.
