DHCPv6 server crashes on lease expiration

I am using dhcpd 4.0.0a2 w/ a Windows Vista client. Whenever I set the
default lease time to be small (60 seconds), the DHCPv6 server will
consistently crash when the lease expires. I have narrowed down the problem
and it seems to be dereferencing a null pointer in lease_timeout_support().
In particular, in lease_timeout_support(), when an addr is returned from
expire_lease6(), addr->iana is null. However, addr->ia_na is dereferenced by
write_ia_na() a little bit later.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? What could be wrong? Here's a
possible patch that seems to fix this, but is likely to just be masking the
real problem:
