I see something similar to this on GNU/Linux.

# nping -6 ::1 -c 1
Starting Nping 0.6.26SVN ( http://nmap.org/nping ) at 2012-12-18 22:39 PST
sendto in send_packet: sendto(4, packet, 20, 0, ::1, 28) => Network is unreachable

# nping --icmp -6 ::1 -c 1
Starting Nping 0.6.26SVN ( http://nmap.org/nping ) at 2012-12-18 22:40 PST
Error opening capture device lo --> Error compiling our pcap filter: expression rejects all packets

Incidentally, the above commands run without a problem in the
