Description

As simple as trying to run IPv6 traceroute to www.google.com from the GUI:

2 gige-g2-20.core1.prg1.he.net 3.317 ms 11.719 ms 2.712 ms
3 nixcz-v6.net.google.com 45.940 ms 10.852 ms 10.970 ms
4 2001:4860::1:0:4ca2 45.398 ms 11.265 ms 11.076 ms
5 2001:4860::8:0:5039 11.545 ms 11.095 ms 10.917 ms
6 2001:4860::8:0:3097 25.850 ms
2001:4860::8:0:3098 26.843 ms 26.517 ms
7 2001:4860::2:0:612 24.934 ms
2001:4860::2:0:6e0 25.945 ms 30.676 ms

Same thing from shell:

2 gige-g2-20.core1.prg1.he.net 2.725 ms 2.681 ms 11.847 ms
3 nixcz-v6.net.google.com 10.874 ms 21.850 ms 11.070 ms
4 2001:4860::1:0:4ca2 11.037 ms 10.983 ms 10.820 ms
5 2001:4860::8:0:5039 10.994 ms 18.642 ms 28.842 ms
6 2001:4860::8:0:3098 24.807 ms 24.396 ms 24.448 ms
7 2001:4860::2:0:612 26.017 ms
2001:4860::2:0:6e0 31.798 ms 25.013 ms

Hangs indefinitely.

Compare to traceroute run from Windows box:

@ 3 4 ms 2 ms 2 ms gige-g2-20.core1.prg1.he.net [2001:470:0:221::1]

4    11 ms    10 ms    11 ms  nixcz-v6.net.google.com [2001:7f8:14::1d:1]
  5    11 ms    11 ms    10 ms  2001:4860::1:0:4ca2
  6    11 ms    11 ms    11 ms  2001:4860::8:0:5038
  7    26 ms    26 ms    26 ms  2001:4860::8:0:3098
  8    30 ms    29 ms    28 ms  2001:4860::2:0:6e0
  9     *        *        *     Request timed out.
 10    26 ms    26 ms    26 ms  bk-in-x93.1e100.net [2a00:1450:4008:c01::93]@

This renders the web GUI completely unresponsive and unusable until you kill the traceroute6 process via console.
