incorrect broadcast address.

The network programs on out FC1 machine is calculating the wrong
broadcast address. For a machine with ip: 131.194.131.27 and 
netmask: 255.255.192.0  the broadcast address should
be: 131.194.191.255

However, running ifconfig eth0 I get  Bcast:255.255.191.255

This causes problems with commands that do broadcasts.

Can anyone comment on this or indicate a cure for this error.
