  Adding an interface alias with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 caused
gated to die with a signal 6 (gated is 3.5.5 from ports on a 2.2-stable
system).

  If the netmask is not 255.255.255.255, gated doesn't die, but
OSPF doesn't work correctly.

  Does gated support secondary addresses on an interface?

  Basically, I want to add an alias address (secondary address) on ed0 in
a different subnet than the primary address, and be able to export the
route to this secondary address via OSPF.
