dynip/statip IP overflow

Hello,

we're using dynip and statip in our chilli setup and noticed a strange 
behaviour. When clients connect to our access point they'll get a dynip 
from chilli. When another client connects to the access point he'll get 
the next free IP address from the dynip network. That all is OK.

The problem is, that in case a client get's the last free dynip from the 
dynip network and another client connects to the access point, he'll get 
an IP address out of the dynip range.

E.g. we have the following setup
dynip 192.168.174.128/25
statip 192.168.174.0/25

In case a client will get the dynip address 192.168.174.128, the next 
client will get 192.168.175.1. It seems that the IP address is just 
increased by one without checking against the dynip network mask. This 
seems like an "overflow" too me.

Anyone noticed this already? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks for feedback.

Greetings
Oliver Hinckel
