I believe it was a D-Link router that I used once way back, that would lock
up whenever packets from 2 different subnets were sent over the same
physical segment. Ever since that (and the router that snottily informed me
that 255.255.254.0 was not a valid value for net mask), I don't doubt any
reported stupidity in consumer-grade routers.
