So am I right to say that, for all practical purposes, basically we
cannot use this address? If the answer is yes, then the solutions is
easy, just need to change enum_ipv4_interface() in ip_helper_win32.c
to filter out this IP class. If the answer is no then the solution
will be a bit difficult, as the interface enumeration function needs
to be more clever (somehow).
