Description:
------------
The string '0:0:0:255.255.255.255' is not a valid IPv6 address. The 
filter extension allows it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(filter_var('0:0:0:255.255.255.255', FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV6));

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
string(21) "0:0:0:255.255.255.255"

Both 5.2 and 5.3 CVS give the same output as 5.2.9

also look at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46973
this bug is _bogus_ because 1fff::a88:85a3::172.31.128.1 is not a valid ipv6 address (TWO :: in it, that is NOT ALLOWED, see RFC4291)
please fix this.. ipv6 is coming fast
