Hi Roy,
Thanks for verifying the issue. I had another look this appears to fix the assert:
http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/artifact/d0ced6943d15bffcd8415b37d092504dc1e923f1?txt=1&ln=1993
1993 if (state->arping_index < ifo->arping_len) {
Update:
1993 if (state->arping_index <= ifo->arping_len) {
Best,
Piers
