I have a bizarre entry in the routing table on one my machines. What
is it, and how do I delete it? The output of "netstat -rnf inet" is
shown below:

Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
  0&0xc0a80132       link#1             UCS         0        0   bge0

  ...

QUESTIONS
1. The first entry, it's not IPv4, IPv6 or a MAC address that I've
ever seen, what format is it?

It looks a default IPv4 route using a non-contiguous netmask. It's almost certainly the result of running route with the wrong arguments, rather than something you would intend to do.

2. How do I delete it? According to route(8) it is not a "valid
address" and when I attempt to delete it, route(8) gets very upset:

root# route delete 0&0xc0a80132

  [1] 37343
  route: writing to routing socket: No such process
  delete net 0: not in table
  0xc0a80132: Command not found.
  [1]  + Exit 1                        route delete 0

The "&" is confusing the shell; you can probably do a "route delete default" to nuke it.
