the brain has left the building - OSPF area range - strange stuff

guys and gals,

I'm getting bogged down with the area range command in ospf:

the scene..
R5
 | igrp
 |
R3 ------|area1 /29 mask
           |
          R4------R2
             area 0

the link between r3 and r4 is a frame cloud.
when i configure the area 1 range xxx.xxx.xxx.0 255.255.255 on R3 to get the
/29 into R'5' routing table - it works. But on R4 I see the xxx.xxx.xxx.0/29
as connected route (fine so far..), but also see the xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 route
as reachable via R3 !!

split horizon is on the interfaces but i seem to be getting some sort of
"feedback"
......or is this normal behaviour?

any ideas before I go potty!!!

thanks in advance

si
