You'll be pleased to know this has now been resolved in the latest fossil 
trunk.

However, the new code causes dhcpcd to spin on NetBSD when we expire a DHCP 
lease, acquire an IPv4LL address and then exit. Of course, it works fine on 
Linux where my fav debug tool valgrind actually works! So that's holding up a 
new release.

Also, I'd like to get the waitip directive working under all know conditions 
(it breaks currently in corner cases) and then I'll ship a new version with 
all known issues fixed!

Testing of the current code is of course, welcome :)
