255.255.255.255 and 192.168.128.255 have very small propagation;
only one network.  With larger broadcast echo requests (i.e.,
class B, class C) it's more of an issue, I suppose.  And you can
always firewall these off at the router.

No, I didn't change any unusual network settings.  My machines
are more-or-less stock 2.2.17.
