RIP question in Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 book

Hi

In refering to Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 by Jeff,
I am testing the lab scenario in page 223,
which consist of two routers.

I originally expect Router B will advertise 2 rip entry:
192.168.20.40
192.168.20.48
to Router A. Then, RouterA will imposing 27 bit subnet mask
as its local interface is configured as 27 bit sbunet mask.
So, the two route will be truncated to: 192.168.20.32/27
and will be ignored.

However, the actual lab testing is out of my expectation,
I find that router A have two rip learned route:
     192.168.20.0/24 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.20.64/27 is directly connected, Loopback30
R 192.168.20.48/32 [120/1] via 192.168.20.34, 00:00:21, Serial1
R 192.168.20.40/32 [120/1] via 192.168.20.34, 00:00:21, Serial1
C 192.168.20.32/27 is directly connected, Serial1
C 192.168.20.128/27 is directly connected, Loopback20

I really don't understand why RouterA will have the 2 32bit route. Can
anyone help?

I've tried to open the debug of:
ip rip
ip rip database
and get the following intesting message are as follow.
My friend also follow the lab config and get the same result. Is there
anything that we are missing?
