Proper alias netmasks are now enforced. See the ifconfig(8)
man page for the proper format:
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. T=
his
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wis=
hes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the addr=
ess
is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
interface, a netmask of 0xffffffff has to be specified.
