Yup, just got mine over the weekend. Not bad.

I've seen that the PMs remember what netmask is in effect for each added route.
So here's my suggestion on how to clean it up:
1) Remove ALL routes from the table that are in the affected Class-C networks.
2) Add the appropriate netmasks.
3) Add the routes back in for the appropriate subnets.
So if you have some routes in for the .0, .64, .128, and .192 subnets, remove
them. Then add the netmask and then add the routes back in. Even though you
can't see the associated netmask in the show routes listing, they seem to be
hidden in there.
You'll only be able to delete the routes when you have the netmask set the same
as when the routes were added, too. So if you have a route in there, add (ie
change) the netmask, and then try to delete the route, it won't find it! Cute,
huh?
