wicd-curses opens dhclient per connection attempt

[kportertx]

wicd 1.7.1 (bzr-r717)
wireless (and wired) connection daemon.

For each connection attempt I make through wicd-curses, a separate dhclient is opened. Each dhclient remains open until I explicitly perform kill -9. Even calling /etc/rc.d/wicd stop leaves these processes running each continuing to hammer dhcp.

To resolve this issue I added the following to /etc/wicd/scripts/(pre/post)connect
#!/bin/sh
kill -9 `ps -eP | grep -i dhclient | cut -f 1,2 -d ' '`

Before this fix action I was constantly disconnecting from Wireless, afterwards it seems to be stable so far.

Attached wicd.log

I have experienced this on multiple distros and hardware, including systems belonging to associates.
