Thanks for pointing me to the correct location where the problem really
occurs -- I did not notice that it is the emptiness of $CIDR which leads

Should I file a bug report somewhere, or do you change the simple examples?
With regards, Alex
P.S.: I use some more (minor) modifications for 30-interface, probably
you like to apply the attached patch?
