Where did you come up with that '16' actually? Why not 3? 17? 100?

Right now I'm running with 2.4.6-ac5, eth0 and 20 aliases for it
(eth0:1..eth0:20). As expected, it didn't complain nor did anything
different for 17th, as opposed to 16th interface. Perhaps you're running
some old net tools/ifconfig, if you tested at all that is.

I have:
net-tools 1.59
ifconfig 1.40 (2000-05-21)

Cheers, Dan.
