UDP over v6: payload truncated at 1024 bytes

Hi
I've started using IPv6 in my Erlang application and have encountered a
problem. I open a listening socket like this :
gen_udp:open(5060, [{reuseaddr, true}, inet6])
but when I receive a datagram of size 1343 bytes over that socket (passive
mode)
handle_info({udp, Socket, IPlist, Port, Packet}, State) ->
Packet is truncated at 1024 bytes. If I don't use inet6, and send the same
sized packet over ordinary IPv4 UDP then it does not get truncated.
tcpdump shows there really is truncation happening at the receiving end :
tcpdump output :
10:01:35.123298 2001:6b0:5:987:210:dcff:fe2a:618a.5060 >
2001:6b0:5:987:210:dcff:fe2a:65ab.5060: udp 1343
my applications logging :
2004-04-05 10:01:35.123 debug<0.115.0>:
length(Packet) is 1024, socket #Port<0.118>
2004-04-05 10:01:35.124 debug<0.217.0>:Packet from udp6:
[2001:06b0:0005:0987:0210:dcff:fe2a:618a]:5060 (receiver: <0.115.0>) :
Is this a known problem or do I perhaps just need to pass some other flag to
open()?
Thanks,
/Fredrik
