Hello,

I'm getting a series of these warning when I start a 64bit Win7 inside
VirtualBox in a 64bit 3.0.0-rc3 linux.

This happens when I open the session, not during the boot process. Here is
a copy of the very first warning.

Jun 20 09:44:35 tux kernel: ip_rt_bug: 192.168.0.77 -> 255.255.255.255, ?

It appears the 192.168.0.77 is the IP address of the host machine :
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:24:E8:DE:5A:7B  
          inet addr:192.168.0.77  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          Interrupt:48 Base address:0xa000 

and the routing table contains :
[root@tux ipv4]# netstat -rn
