The attached Really Ugly Hack may work.  Or it may not, and it may eat all
your data, depending on whether the ALLOC lines in the configuration file
are specified correctly or not.  It definitely does not taste like chicken.

It looks like the semantics of the "-M" flag to the RIPE DB changed.  This
flag requests more-specific prefixes.  Previously, it would accept an
address range of the form 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255, but now it insists
on using netmask format.  I.e. 192.168.0.0/16.

This is probably a sensible move for the DB people, although it will cause
some old scripts to break.
