Subject: CIDR address in pg_hba.conf

Hi,
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
> An IP address is specified in standard dotted decimal notation with
> a CIDR mask length. The mask length indicates the number of
> high-order bits of the client IP address that must match. Bits to the
> right of this must be zero in the given IP address.
Is the last statement correct? When I specified the following setting
in pg_hba.conf, I could not find any problem in PostgreSQL.
host all all 192.168.1.99/24 trust
As far as I read the code, those bits seem not to need to be zero.
Attached patch just removes that statement.
Regards,

An IP address is specified in standard dotted decimal
notation with a <acronym>CIDR</> mask length. The mask
length indicates the number of high-order bits of the client
! IP address that must match. Bits to the right of this must
! be zero in the given IP address.
There must not be any white space between the IP address, the
<literal>/</literal>, and the CIDR mask length.
