--
An IPv6 frame with a routing header (Type-0 or Type-2) calculates the wrong
UDP/TCP checksum when segments left is 0.

When a routing header is present, the final L3 IP destination address used for
UDP/TCP checksum is the last element of the list UNLESS the segments left is 0.
  In this case, the destination address is in the L3 header.   See RFC 2460
(Page 17 of the 1998 standard has a good example
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2460  ).
