>Description:
When showing configuration for interfaces that do not have IFF_BROADCAST enabled, like if_tun, if_gre, etc.
ifconfig prints a trailing whitespace after the netmask.
>How-To-Repeat:
#ifconfig gre0
gre0: flags=b151<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,PROMISC,LINK0,LINK1,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1476
	tunnel inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y
	inet a.a.a.a --> b.b.b.b netmask 0xfffffffc <- Trailing whitespace here! :)
