Dear Michael,

[kjkoster@saffron ~]$ ifconfig bge0
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        
options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE>
        ether 00:e0:81:32:ed:b4
        inet 91.196.169.165 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 91.196.169.167
        inet 91.196.169.166 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 91.196.169.166
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX 
<full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause>)
        status: active
[kjkoster@saffron ~]$ fgrep bge0 /etc/rc.conf 
ifconfig_bge0="inet 91.196.169.165 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_bge0_alias0="91.196.169.166 netmask 255.255.255.255"

That broadcast address and netmask look wrong for sure.

Should I just change that to 255.255.255.248 as well?

I hate unit tests; I much prefer the illusion that there are no errors in my 
code.
