Synopsis: address like 10.51 (meaning 10.0.0.51) does not work in hosts file

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: phk
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 18 13:10:45 PST 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
As far as I recall this is by design.  A dig in the mail-archives
will probably show the discussion, I seem to recall some traditionalist
opposition (probably fielded by Garrett) against the change but the
consensus nontheless being that in FreeBSD at least IP numbers
are #.#.#.# all the time.
