filtering long prefixes

Just an aside (since I just have the data handy), as of a few weeks
ago, the InterNIC data base had the following prefix counts for their
network number entries:

    PREFIX FREQUENCY
    ========== =========
    -536870912 1
    3 2
    7 1
    8 78
    9 12
    10 22
    11 23
    12 39
    13 50
    14 81
    15 47
    16 9057
    17 260
    18 583
    19 1066
    20 1870
    21 2197
    22 2335
    23 2721
    24 64386
    31 86

I sure am liking those 31 bit masks.
