confusing display of IPv6 addresses in peers tab

[tikal808]

When in the peers tab using 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 IPv6 addresses are sometimes displayed in an incorrect format. Most specifically there is sometimes an extra digit applied to the last quad in the address. (see attached screenshot) Whether or not this is by design I do not know. Regardless, it's currently impossible to perform a a whois lookup on an IPv6 addresses displayed on the peers tab when there is extra digits in the address.

These are evidently Teredo (IPv6 in IPv4) endpoints.

Um, it doesn't matter *what* kind of IPv6 address those are supposed to be, you can't fit five nybbles in 16 bits...

But I think perhaps the problem is that those last five digits are actually a port number, which would be a lot clearer if the IPv6 addresses were in brackets -- especially considering that many IPv6 addresses have the :: in them, which makes it impossible to tell this just by counting 16 chunks.
