Testing duplicate IP address detection

Hi List,
I am trying to test duplicate IP address detection. Started dhcpcd as
usual, found out what IP address it got, then manually assigned that
address to another host on the network. After that, I did arping and normal
ping from the duplicated-ip-host, but there is no indication or event
received on the machine running dhcpcd. The reason stays at "BOUND" and
'new_ip_address=' remains to keep showing the same (duplicated) IP.

Does anyone know how this feature is actually tested? What should be my
expectations from dhcpcd?

(testing on the latest trunk)

Thanks!
