Disable Botnet? (enquiry about fixing IPv6 problem)

I wonder how good or bad is my idea to temporarily not load Botnet module? 
That results in some repeated warnings, but if I load it, there are even more 
warnings like these:

spamd[2882]: Argument "2607:fe70:0:4::a" isn't numeric in multiplication (*) 
at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Botnet.pm line 
763.

multiplication (*) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Botnet.pm line 763.
Jul 12 08:05:56 keeper spamd[2882]: Use of uninitialized value $c in 
multiplication (*) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Botnet.pm line 763.
Jul 12 08:05:56 keeper spamd[2882]: Use of uninitialized value $d in addition 
(+) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Botnet.pm 
line 763.

It's spamassassin 3.3.1-r4 and botnet 0.8.

There is the other thread about some patching for IPv6, but could someone post 
the current status with this problem or some idea what should be done for now 
better than just not loading Botnet?

It doesn't. I keep getting false positives for IPv6 connections. :(
Can't somebody please fix it? I don't understand it well enough.

I think botnet works well with those IPv6 patches again. I have enabled
it again since then. But I don't have real statistics about it yet.
