Since nobody seems to have an answer, I'll take a stab. Sounds like a
bug in isc-dhcpd, or at least that seems like a reasonable guess. :)
I'd upgrade to 1.2b10 for the newer dhcpd and see if that doesn't
resolve it. Or, if you want a very well tested and known reliable and
solid version, go for 1.2b9 (most of us think it's just as if not more
stable than 1.1). I wouldn't hesitate to use b10 though.
