This also happens with version release version 1.0.5.  The following trace file
decodes w/out error using tcpdump, but trips on malformed packet with WS.  I
haven't delved into the byte level (yet anyhow) to see if it is truly
malformed, but the dhcpv6 client is Vista/SP1, so I'd be a a bit surprised if
it really is malformed...
