I've been unable to reproduce this, so far :-( How exactly did you
manage to reproduce it?


The thing is - how could there be an overlap? The way we build expanded
ranges that should not be possible, I think. Can you print the ranges at
the end of fill_expanded_ranges? That should shed some light on this.


FWIW I suspect those asserts on delta may be a bit problematic due to
rounding errors. And I found one issue in the inet distance function,
because apparently

test=# select '10.2.14.243/24'::inet < '10.2.14.231/24'::inet;
 ?column?
----------
 f
(1 row)

but the delta formula currently ignores the mask. But that's a separate
issue.
