 Sorry. Wrong cut-n-paste. I did use 0xffffff00 and it seemed to work
 fine. When did you notice a change? src/sbin/mountd/mountd.c hasn't
 changed since 4.4-RELEASE. I can't see anything that deals with
 reading the netmask that has changed since 1998. The mask is actually
 read with the inet_network(3) function, and I see no significant
 changes in that for several years either.
