If "you guys" refers to the Ethereal developers, no, it can't be
anything we're currently working on, as capture filtes are implemented
by libpcap, not Ethereal.

However, some of us also work on libpcap and tcpdump.  What does the
command

	tcpdump -d not port 6000

print?  And are there any extension headers in your IPv6 packets?
