>Description:
By accident i created a route :

# route -n add -net 10.1000.0.0/24 192.168.168.1

This didn't result in an error as expected (10.1000.0.0 isn't really possible :))
but resulted in the following entry in the routing table : 

10.232/24          192.168.168.1      UGS         0        0   bge0

Ofcourse, this seems like a very minor bug in the routing table implementation, but worth mentioning.
