There was recently a discussion in de.comp.os.linux.networking (in
german) about this topic. It seems that the code in netstat (or was
it route) assumes a network address to have the last of the four byte
set to zero (which is a wrong assumption with your netmask). I don't
know if a patch is already available. Maybe we should ask the author
about this.
