Try connecting from a XP workstation to a .255 target address that is on a class "C" address. It will fail every time - doesn't even attempt to send the packet. That is the buggy behaviour in question. XP assumes that the remote endpoint has a classful subnet mask whereas it shouldn't actually care.
