This just fixes the netmask calculation to not confuse netadmins who

Just in case... I'm not sure these ranges are very common or should be
considered as "private".
192.0.2.0/8 is reserved by RFC 3330 for "TEST-NET".
192.18.0.0/15 is reserved by RFC 2544 for benchmarking.
Just in case the developers decide to add these ranges (and I'm not
suggesting they do), they should be (using my patch):
192.0.2.0/24
192.18.0.0/15
(Before my patch they'd have been a /8 and a /17.)
Just wanted to clarify, since 192.0.2.0/8 is nonsensical in my way
(which corresponds to the RFCs) of counting bits.
