Thanks for this report. It turns out that this was an assertion failure,
tripped because IPv6 traceroute using UDP, SCTP, or IP protocol probes
was not supported.

I changed the check to prohibit these types of probes from trying to run
for IPv6. But because all the infrastructure is in place, it was easy to
add support for these probes, which I did in followign commits.
