Subject: [PATCH] - Add $netif_ipexpand_max to specify the upper limit for the
 number of   addresses generated by an address range specification.  The
 default   value is 2048.  This can be increased by setting
 $netif_ipexpand_max   in rc.conf.

- Fix warning messages when an address range spec exceeds the upper limit.
