Strange Argus Client IPv6 Filter Behavior

Hey Dave,
I'm sorry for the delayed response!!  Yes I found the bug.  We were setting the mask length for
default IPv6 to zero, rather than 128.  So, explicitly setting the masklen corrected the error.
Its now in the code base, which I will upload later today/tomorrow.

Again sorry for the delay.
Hope all is most excellent,

Carter
