192.168.5 should be interpreted as 192.168.0.5 in host address context,
but as 192.168.5.0 in network address context. (Such network address
context is well seen in sentences such as "10/8", "192.168/16".)

netch@iv:~/tmp>netstat -rn | grep 192
192/8              127.0.0.1          UGSc        0        0      lo0

In case in question, when -network prefix is occured, parsing should
be performed with network address context, not host address context.
