 Your patch fixed the segmentation fault but now NetworkManager sets up a

Unfortunately we cannot rely on administrators always pushing a default
route if the VPN can actually route all traffic.

Nor can you rely on the VPN always being able to route all traffic...

The problem you're going to run into is that the NM-openvpn plugin
doesn't yet support IPv6, because last time some patches got proposed,
openvpn didn't have full IPv6 support and didn't pass back the necessary
stuff to the helper script :(  That may have changed?

Most definitely! More info here:

BTW: When I tested Nicolas' patches I did so using the standard F19
OpenVPN RPM. It Works(tm)!
