cvs commit: src/sys/net radix.c

[Darren Reed]

Some of these changes, for the sake of change, can be annoying when you
grab code from one BSD, start analysing it and then go looking at others
to see if they behave the same, etc.

I suppose what I'm saying here is that the more arbitrary divergence in
the code base here, the greater the difficulty in analysing the code at
some point in the future to see if it is is bug compatible with others.

A different example is that changes of this nature might make the casual
reader pickup a copy of Stevens and think the code is different, just by
virtue of the names being different, when in fact it isn't.
