Details - netifd makes the assumption that ipv6 segments will never be any smaller than a /64; it quite often computes things like (1 length)) which obviously won't work out very well when prefix->length > 64. (Incidentally, it looks like it's never been tested with prefixes larger than a /32, too, since things like "int32_t current = 0, asize = (1 length)) - 1;" will also not work out very well when assign->length
