What is the difference between these syslog messages?

        martian source b18c85ac for ffffffff, dev eth1

        martian destination efea0000 from 4901a8c0, dev eth1

Other than the obvious difference in word choices, why would the kernel
express this one way or the other?  Which martian condition generates
which message?

Hopefully, it is clear that I know what is a martian and that I know how
to decode human readable ip addresses from hex -- rather, my question is
more technical, why does the kernel use two syntaxes to express what
appears to be the same thing?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
