truncated lease

I am using wi-fi via netctl to automatically connect to my wireless
network.

In my journal -b I see the line:

dhcpcd[1637]: read_lease: truncated lease

Looking at dhcp.c
<http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/finfo?name=dhcp.c>, I see that it
says:

	/* Ensure the packet is at lease BOOTP sized
	 * with a vendor area of 4 octets
	 * (it should be more, and our read packet enforces this so this
	 * code should not be needed, but of course people could
	 * scribble whatever in the stored lease file. */

But I have not scribbled anything into a lease file; it is only what was
automatically generated.

Is this normal behaviour?

I am trying to resolve intermittent wi-fi disconnects (carrier loss).

Thanks, A
