	Is anyone aware of a problem with the netmask and /etc/networks being
loaded by niload?  We have a class B network with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and
the /etc/networks file contains things like:

domain-ring	129.79.253
psych-ring	129.79.161
wcc-net		129.79.1

	The problem is that when I do a nidump, I get all of these entries
with "129.79" listed as the network.  I have a feeling something isn't paying
attention to the subnet mask.  Any clues?
