This patch is buggy! It causes disturbing messages with "<null address>" every time dhclient attempts to renew the lease. Unfortunately on my system the lease time is 1 hour and renewal takes many (~30) retries to succeed. I obviously suspected this <null address> of causing problems, but it turned out the message was just buggy and the problem is elsewhere. Please fix this, it affects everyone and it makes debugging slightly more complex DHCP problems more confusing.

Please re-open this issue and read <http://marc.info/?l=dhcp-users&m=121017450721761&w=2>. I emailed Martin, but with no response so far I thought it was best to get this issue tracked.
