It was Debian Etch when it was reported, now it is debian Lenny (same
symptoms, patch is just a few lines lower but applies cleanly).
Package with ping6 (in Lenny) used is iputils-ping 3:20071127-1

so you can grab the binaries from
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=iputils-ping

It is the same bug with either i386 or amd64 architecture.

To reproduce, here is example I get when I try to ping nonexistent
IPv6 address (your output might be different due to routers involved,
but hopefully would be in the same format):

% ping6 -c3 2a00:1450:8001::1234
PING 2a00:1450:8001::1234(2a00:1450:8001::1234) 56 data bytes
