I'm seeing the messages on the machine in Eindhoven (running RELENG_6
=66rom a few days/weeks ago), but they also show up on my HEAD machine at
home. Below is the output of `ifconfig gif0` on my machine at home:

| gif0: flags=3D8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
|         tunnel inet 83.181.147.170 --> 193.109.122.244
|         inet6 fe80::202:a5ff:fe58:4927%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7=20
|         inet6 2001:7b8:310::1 --> 2001:7b8:2ff:a4::1 prefixlen 128=20

As far as I know, the latest FreeBSD releases show an error message when
assigning an address with a non-128 prefixlen.
