Fixed in dhcpv6-1.0.8, moving to MODIFIED.
In order to debug this problem, we need the test case for RHEL 5.2 with an exact reproducer, including output with verbose debugging messages from the DHCPV6 software. One way to do this would be to extract the commands that TAHI runs. The man pages for dhcp6s, dhcp6r, and dhcp6c all show how to generate verbose debug messages.
Fixed in dhcpv6-1.0.10-2.el5.
