AFAICT, it has nothing to do with libpcap.  ra_output() in rtadvd is
probably sending a multicast packet, which gets looped back to the
sending host.  We can guess what kind of packet it is, but please, find
out for us what kind of packet it is using tcpdump or rtadvd debug output.

You may be seeing another instance of the kernel mangling shared/read-only
mbuf storage.  As I look at nd6_ra_input and nd6_ns_input, I see them
use pointers returned by IP6_EXTHDR_GET() in improper ways.
