FWIW, I still see 'classful behavior' with WindowsXP (all recent
service packs and such like) and also Solaris 2.7 (not sure about
later releases, I'm guessing it's still there though).

My point here is that many years after CIDR we still get weird
anomalies in IP stacks --- so I wouldn't bet on anything being safe
unless well tested.
