That crash is already fixed in Linus' latest tree by this patch:
tree 3d4ce288b86cb2845d79c6adec9e254054bb0e02 parent a7768097557be91d0d4c37e8f2e38cd126c4cdf9 author David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Thu, 12 Jan 2006 07:53:04 -0800 committer David S. Miller <davem@sunset.davemloft.net> Thu, 12 Jan 2006 08:32:13 -0800
[IPV6]: Avoid calling ip6_xmit() with NULL sk The ip6_xmit() function now assumes that its sk argument is non-NULL, which isn't currently true when TCPv6 code is sending RST or ACK packets. This fixes that code to use a socket of its own for sending such packets, as TCPv4 does. (Thanks Andi for the pointer).
