The following patch against gated 3_5Alpha_11 makes Linux happy when it
cannot intuit a route's mask. In my case, I was running into the problem
when I was adding static routes to a number of SLIP subnets
(netmask 255.255.255.240) through a black-hole device.
Note that gated 3_0_3 needs the same sort of patch.
