The server logs transmitting the offer but it's not in your dump.
The suggested filter should catch it if it were there (source or
destination port).

Directly after the log message, we literally call sendto() on the
Packet Filter socket.  You would see 'send_packet:' error logs if
that were failing, so it must also be succeeding.

I can only assume that something is discarding the transmission to
the all-ones broadcast, but since debian's 3.0.4-13 uses ISC DHCP's
"LPF" method, I don't think that can be the system's local firewall,
can it?

uname -a?
