Is fetch -6 supposed to work?

    [Apologies if this is a dupe, I'm not sure it made it to the list the first
    time.]

    Howdy,

    It seems to me that fetch(1) cannot actually fetch files over a v6
    connection. For example, the following works:

    fetch -s -P -6
    http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xchat/xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2
    796768

    But remove the -s and try to fetch the file and it hangs until it times out:

    xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2 0% of 778 kB 0 Bps
    fetch: transfer timed out
    fetch: xchat-2.6.0.tar.bz2 appears to be truncated: 0/796768 bytes

    tcpdump on that interface shows no packets flowing between my host and the
    remote host while it hangs.

    So, is this supposed to work? Any comments or suggestions? I should also
    note that surfing IPv6 sites with my web browser works fine.

    Thanks,

    Doug
