dhclient deletes ifaddr, then fails

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hey,
:
:considering this sequence:
:
:	dhclient fxp0
:
:now we have ip address & everything is fine.  dhclient keeps running
:
:	dhclient fxp0
:
:returns error 1.  in syslog, it complains about the address already 
:beeing taken, because of the running dhlient.  However, it will set the 
:ip address of fxp0 to 0.0.0.0.  Now I'm left with an unusable system.
:
:	killall dhclient
:	dhclient fxp0
:
:now it works again.
:
:cheers

    I think it has always done that.  If you run dhclient while one is
    already running it explodes the network interface.  Feel free to
    fix the code :-)
