Bird and loopback addresses

(resending with proper from address)

Hello,

It seems that bird ignores any interfaces / ip addresses which have a subnet 
mask of 255.255.255.255. This seems to apply to both BGP as OSPF. An interface 
configured with A.B.C.D/E (E<32) seems to be picked up just fine, whereas 
configuring it A.B.C.D/32 and a route to A.B.C.D/E does not result in the 
interface to be picked.
I'm quite sure I'm missing something trivial here, but I can't seem to figure 
out what exactly.

Regards,
Ruben Laban
