could someone describe workaround without rebooting machine? Still present, with v4 as well

I reproduced this on the stable 12.04 kernel (3.2.0-26-generic) as well as 12.10 (3.5.0-3-generic). This is currently breaking ipv6 connectivity for some dual-stack setups in debian-installer though only for Ubuntu 12.10 (because the flush call was ipv4-specific in 12.04). I'll workaround the issue in d-i, but this bug should really be looked into.
