ip6_route_output() does not fill in the src. addr.: msg#00123

Subject: ip6_route_output() does not fill in the src. addr.
The ipv6 version of the 'get route entry' function ip6_route_output() does not
fill in the source address of the route even when a valid appropriate source 
address is passed. 
Is this the expected behavior or a bug which is going to be fixed in the future 
releases of 2.5?   

The ipv4 version 'ip_route_output_key()' works as expected.

SCTP calls these routines to get and cache a route entry and uses the cached
entry to fill in skb->dst before passing the skb to ip. 

Thanks
