ifconfig_IF_aliasX regression

Hi,

I update from beta 2 to current (r197613) and noticed that an alias  
address was not configured. It seems the issue was that I had
   ifconfig_IF_alias0="1.2.3.4/32"
instead of
   ifconfig_IF_alias0="inet 1.2.3.4/32"

I know the setup should have been the second one from the beginning  
(at least the manpage gives something like this as an example), but  
the first one worked without problems. The problem is either that it  
(silently?) fails, or that it is not documented in UPDATING. Anyone  
with their hands there recently with an opinion about it?

Bye,
Alexander.
