Apparant bug in rc.37 and ra man page fix

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Peter,
You need to provide a complete CIDR address for network directives.
I'll try to make it so that it bombs if it doesn't get the right format.
Try this:
     ra -r bb_argus -n -- net 142.58.71.0/24

I think you are only going to match with a broadcast address with
your query, so in some ways, it could make sense, but of course
its wrong ;o)

Carter
