Ospf6d code in 0.96.5 is obsolete. Code in CVS is complete rewrite.
There is no significant differences between ospf6d code in Zebra and
Quagga CVS. Code in Quagga has only some specific changes (privilege
separation, signal handling etc.). Ospf6d code is one of few things
in Zebra which has still active maintainer and code is evolving. I
recommend contact him if you have questions about ospf6d - Yasuhiro
Ohara <yasu@sfc.wide.ad.jp>.

I don't know how stable it is though, it works, but I haven't used it
in production.

Yes.

CVS is essentially Yasuhiro's rewrite of ospf6d, as in current GNU
Zebra CVS, Quagga'fied (ie with support for privilege drop).

ah, one thing, you must manually specify router-id to ospf6d.
