Hi, I have a very annoying issue when running Linux 2.6.31.6 and newer with IPv6 enabled inside Virtualbox OSE 3.1.4 (or any older version I tried). This has been reported in the Virtualbox ticket tracker three weeks ago as #6384 (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6384), and since the issue was introduced with a Linux kernel update, also in Linux Kernel Bugzilla as #15042 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15042). Unfortunately, neither of these tickets have yet been attacked by a developer.
When the guest's ipv6 module is loaded during guest startup, it takes a few seconds (much longer than on real hardware) until ipv6 autonegotiation begins. If any application tries to create an IPv6 socket before this autonegotiation, the virtualbox process begins to run around in circles, taking one available CPU, until the guest is aborted manually. This, unfortunately, happens as soon as the ssh daemon is started. I would like to know how to attack this issue. I will happily deliver any debugging information and can probably even grant access to a test system which shows this behavior. The virtualbox ticket (#6384) also contains a full Vbox.log of a guest showing this behavior. If anybody can help, I would really like to have this issue fixed.
