I am not sure if this is completely fixed -- it is fixed if same netmask
is given. If a different netmask is used, the same IP can still be
assigned to a different interface, which is meaningless even they are
in different class.

I think this type of checking should be simple IP only; ie., it should not
invoke netmask:

# ifconfig -a
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 131.243.2.35 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 131.243.2.255
        inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea24%sk0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
        ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:24
        media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex>
        status: active
sk1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea25%sk1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 
        ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:25
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
# ifconfig sk1 131.243.2.35
# ifconfig -a
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 131.243.2.35 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 131.243.2.255
        inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea24%sk0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
        ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:24
        media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex>
        status: active
sk1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::200:5aff:fe98:ea25%sk1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 
        inet 131.243.2.35 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 131.243.255.255
        ether 00:00:5a:98:ea:25
