Subject: [Bug, FreeBSD last SNAP]: ppp/route causes reset (reproducible)
Date: 8 May 95 11:27:13 GMT

Well, I stumbled across the next interesting situation which causes a
soft reset to my machine. To reproduce it do the following
	Boot without any network configuration (e.g. single user)
	enter the commands:
	ifconfig ppp0 inet 200.200.21.21 200.200.21.30 netmask 0xffffff00
	route add default 200.200.21.1
	and then
	finger @200.200.2.1 
	(or any other command trying to get out of the router)
	-----
The IP addresses ofcourse are NOT real and they only serve as an example.
Any ideas what is causing the problems and what the cure is?
As far as I can tell it was also present in the previous SNAP as well
as the latest one (FreeBSD 2.0.950412-SNAP).

[Any reply by e-mail would be greatly appreciated]
