I've seen bizarre things in RIP environments where VLSM is used.  Since RIP1
broadcasts don't include subnet masks, you can end up with some major
confusion.

I think it has someting to do with the fact that 192.168.x.x is NOT a
class B network.  It is in the Class C range.  If you are going to bring
class
into it, us a class B. I have seen routers do bizarre things when you go
against the natural mask.  The only protocol that supports supernetting
(for route aggregation) is BGP.
