Thus, can you please identify these applications so that we can hammer on the developers of those applications and fix that problem?
I haven't done extensive testing. I have just tried to divide a /64 into smaller subnets and to run Debian and Windows on it (as Matthew Petach did with his FreeBSD). I think I have tried /112 or /120. Debian was mostly fine, just one torrent or newsgroups client couldn't do v6 (can't recall which one), with Windows it was a different story and basically nothing really worked.
Why would a torrent client care about the prefix length? But anyway, you had some random application that nobody uses that was broken, seems to be a problem with that specific application, not anything else.
It was some time ago and I haven't tried Windows 7 SP1, maybe it has been fixed till now. Does anyone have Windows with IPv6 and netmask > /64?
I've only played with the NT4, Win2k, XP, and Vista stacks, and these work fine in every scenario (/64 SLAAC, or /128 static config). Hence you'll need to provide a lot more details than "it didn't work"... Greets, Jeroen
