XP clients sometimes ignore DHCPOFFERs

The technote quoted says it only happens on "non microsoft" DHCP servers.
I wonder what MS's server is doing to get its clients out of this loop.
This is all-hands week at ISC. Because of that I'm fairly useless.
IETF is next week.
I won't have a chance to look in our lab for a few weeks at the earliest.
Someone should be able to find out by getting a client into this state (it
sounds like you need to give it a really long lease) and then attach it to
a network where someone enabled "share network" on a regular Windows XP
box.
A pcap of that would save me a lot of effort.
