Description

After adding fc00:1234::1234/128 via fc00:129::bbbb route, I see an invalid route in the routing table:

illegal prefixlen
7400:2a20::/0                     fc00:129::bbbb                UGS      vtnet1

Using `-net` argument with /128 netmask produces invalid routes, i.e.:

# /sbin/route add -net -inet6 fc00:aaaa::1/128 fc00:129::bbbb
add net fc00:aaaa::1/128: gateway fc00:129::bbbb
# netstat -rn | grep fc00:129::bbbb
illegal prefixlen
7400:2a20::/0                     fc00:129::bbbb                UGS      vtnet1

seems `route(8)` bug
