255.255.255.255 is the correct netmask for an point-to-point interface.
Remember that it isn't a network interface like ethernet. That the alias
interfaces show a different netmasks is a bit odd, and should be fixed in
2.1.68 (when you get it to compile), because the alias code is completely
rewriten there. The log message is harmless.
