The only other relevant info is:
i) it runs an Etherlink III (stock -stable driver as of 2 hours ago, no
added patches)
ii) the errors do not occur with 2.1-release (to which I've now reverted),
iii) the aliases are added in /etc/netstart immediately after the initial
ifconfig with ..
ifconfig ep0 inet 202.12.127.<pick-a-number> alias netmask 255.255.255.255
.. none of them fall within the primary network's subnet (i.e. it primary
address is .70, it has aliases from 225 through 238 of which only the first
six are accessible to the outside world).
iv) attempts at installing a proxy arp ("arp -s <address> <ether> pub") fails
with "not an 802 interface" or something similar. Leaving off the "pub"
yields something like "cannot set arp for <address>"),
