Is it a bug that=20

ifconfig we1 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias 10.0.0.1=20

makes the interface appear like this:

we1: flags=3D8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
        media: 10base2/BNC
        inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.1

(The alias address is made the broadcast address)

I run NetBSD 1.3.2/i386.
