Sorry for the long delay in replying. You are right, the code in
isip6addr() was wrong. Your proposed fix doesn't quite validate all IPv6
addresses correctly, though. I have checked in a fix to the 4_2 branch
that properly handles it.

It shouldn't. The zone indexing only makes sense within the local
machine, so it can't be used in addresses that are to be used in CORBA
object references and calls.

Regards,

Duncan.
