Not so sure about that, Marc. It is, however, easy to work around. You
just have to set NOT NULL for any inet or cidr type but I already have
a use for null ip numbers. That's how I found the problem.

Of course, it's such a new type that I'm sure it won't be heavily used for
a little while anyway.

I just had another thought. Do any other types exhibit this problem?
I think I'll go check enhance a few regression tests.
