Heh heh...yes, ip classless and bgp synchronization do fit into that
category quite well!  

I am starting to think this is an IOS feature on this router.  I tried this
with RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF.  'no ip classless' behaved exactly as expected
when running RIP and EIGRP.  It was only when I used OSPF that it started to
behave classlessly without my prior authorization. <g>

I've got a 2501 running a different IOS image.  I think I'll try this
experiment on that to see what happens.

Thanks,
John

>  Not that its at all helpful in this situation, but ip classless, much
like bgp synchronization, fall into the category of commands that simply
defy understanding when presented with test criteria.  One must keep in mind
that these are implementations of code that sometimes are not 100%
reflective of what the designer intended.  On the other hand, just when you
think the code is flawed, you find out that you truly misunderstood the
feature in the first place :)
