[ovs-dev] Possible regression in "datapath: Mega flow implementation"

I was noticing some similar IPv6 issues earlier this evening.  I'm planning to dig into it more in the morning, so I may have additional information then.  Simon, if you wanted to see the flow that triggered this, you could try starting OVS with the "dpif" logging set at "dbg".  This will show the flow put and dumps, and may provide some useful information, since the output below looks strange with the 0 UDP ports.  If you don't have a chance, I'll do it as part of my debugging tomorrow.
