Thanks for the hint.  Actually we won't downgrade them - they *do* work
for us, and we like the IPv6 support (which 12.0S doesn't have on 7200s,
due to some weird behind-the-scenes decision makings...)

Already on my watch list...  I'm not so sure how easily this can happen in
"natural" networks (without v6-over-v6 tunneling or bad intent), though.

The "IPv6 TTL not decremented if CEF+tunnels encountered" bug annoys me
much more...
