IP6 default constructor doesn't set 'extension_hdrs'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

>>> import dpkt
>>> packet = dpkt.ip6.IP6()
>>> str(packet)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "dpkt/ip6.py", line 83, in __str__
    return self.pack_hdr() + self.headers_str() + str(self.data)
  File "dpkt/ip6.py", line 66, in headers_str
    if not self.extension_hdrs[hdr] is None:
AttributeError: 'IP6' object has no attribute 'extension_hdrs'
>>> 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This is expected output:
>>> import dpkt
>>> packet = dpkt.ip6.IP6()
>>> str(packet)
'`\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x

I too am seeing the same problem, this fix seems to fix the problem.

When will this be fixed in the main release?
