Subject:   IPv6 bind fails with 49 (#define EADDRNOTAVAIL 49 /* Can't assign requested address */)

I have a ipv6 interface(ping6 to a remove ipv6 works) when I try to bind to=
 this address through a socket program "sobind" fails with "49" as return v=
alue. If I give "saddr6.sin6_addr =3D  in6addr_any;" sobind works.



Any idea what could be going wrong here?
