[j-nsp] Commit failure for IPv6 static route

[Aaron Daubman]

Just to follow up for posterity (or if somebody comes across the same
issue and is searching the archive), here's the solution to my earlier
problem outlined below:

The describe problem is a known issue on JunOS 8.2 and 8.3 releases,
and the current solution is to downgrade to 8.1R2.4.
JUNOS Problem Report Number 99293 has some additional details.
