My question is - how can I stop ifconfig from setting up an ipv6

by default' option in its man page. I thought by specifying 'inet'
you could put in interface configuration
NETWORKING_IPV6= false
and you could put in /etc/modprobe.conf
ailas net-pf-10 off
I guess I could do that; cut it off at the source! Either disable
ipv6 when I compile the kernel, or ensure that the ipv6 module
isn't loaded.
It just seems to me that it would have been nice to have an option
to tell ifconfig to ignore ipv6 for a particular interface, rather
than wait for it to attach the ipv6 address and then have to delete it.
After posting this I did some more research and discovered that a
formal bug has been raised for the Java problem - bug ID 4792724,
since December 2002, still 'in progress'! So that's confirmed.
