Ok, I've found it. It's a warning, not an error.
We've correctly set up the interface here but
we're just trying to set the interface name.

It happens here lib/interface.c:

472         safe_strcpy(ifs.name, token, sizeof(ifs.name)-1);

Where token is set to "192.168.100.20/24" which is greater
than ifs.name. We've already parsed out the values for
ss, ss_mask and ss_bcast we're just trying to give the
pseudo interface a name.

I'll replace this with strlcpy and it should be fine.

Thanks for the report though !

Jeremy.
