Non-standard socket options?

[Brian Call]

I just asked Neil if that option was supported for ipv6 and he said that he doesn't think so... Likely once adoption of ipv6 reaches critical mass and enough people complain, it will be added. We can only hope... 

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Not sure why this wasn't considered a bug in Linux and, in fact, it's vehemently defended as absolutely adhering to the multicast spec.
