>Description:
route change of a classfull network might get parsed wrong.

With netstat output of a classfull network (192.168.1.0/24)
looks like this

192.168.1          192.168.64.31      UGS         0        0    em0

but route cannot correctly parse that (if not -net is given) which
could lead to other bad effects.

>How-To-Repeat:

foo# netstat -rn -f inet | grep 192.168.1
192.168.1          192.168.64.31      UGS         0        0    em0
foo# netstat -rn -f inet | grep default
default            192.168.64.1       UGS         0       27    em0
foo# route change 192.168.1 127.0.0.1
change host 192.168.1: gateway 127.0.0.1

got message of size 124 on Mon Jul  4 13:54:43 2005

 192.168.0.1 127.0.0.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

foo# netstat -rn -f inet | grep 192.168.1
192.168.1          192.168.64.31      UGS         0        0    em0
foo# netstat -rn -f inet | grep default
default            127.0.0.1          UGS         0       27    lo0

There was no error returned that the given (host) route
could not be parsed correctly or found in table.

Route monitor returned 192.168.0.1 instead of 196.168.1.0
(what one might expect if there is no error).

The change of default route is another problem (see PR 82974).

>Fix:
For consitency we should either be able to parse classfull
routes given (without -net) and treat them like prefixes (like
-net was given and with correct addresses).

Alternatively return an error like ''ENOPARSE''.
