This is code from load_interfaces(), lib/interface.c:209 :

      for (i=0;i<total_probed;i++) {
         if (probed_ifaces[i].netmask.s_addr != allones_ip.s_addr &&
             probed_ifaces[i].ip.s_addr != loopback_ip.s_addr) {
            add_interface(probed_ifaces[i].ip,
                     probed_ifaces[i].netmask);
         }
      }

This code causes ip addresses with netmask 255.255.255.255 to be ignored.
What is the reason behind this logic ?  Thanks.
