The loopback is up. ospf6d /may/ have done something to it, but I do not
know how to check this (and I cannot reboot these servers right now).

Apparently it is:

root@frwl-5a:~#  netstat -gn | grep eth1
eth1            1      224.0.0.5
eth1            1      224.0.0.1
eth1            1      ff02::6
eth1            1      ff02::5
eth1            2      ff02::1:ff00:0
eth1            1      ff02::2
eth1            1      ff02::1:ff00:89
eth1            1      ff02::1:ffd8:7dd
eth1            1      ff02::1

These (except ff02::1:ffd8:7dd, which is different) are the same
addresses of eth0, which works.

Yes, I double checked again and reproduced these results with totally
empty v6 chains.
