dhcpd 3.1.2 on NetBSD/i386 5.0.1

[Ray Phillips]

Further to my post in June about not being able to use dhclient 3.1.2 
on NetBSD/i386 5.0 [1] (which hasn't been resolved) I've discovered 
dhcpd 3.1.2 won't run on NetBSD/i386 5.0.1:

The configuration file couldn't be much simpler:

% cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 86400;   # default lease 1 day
max-lease-time 2592000;     # maximum lease 30 days
log-facility local2;


subnet 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.240 {
     option subnet-mask 255.255.255.240;
     option broadcast-address 169.254.0.15;
     pool {
         range 169.254.0.2 169.254.0.14;
         default-lease-time 604800;   # default lease 7 days
     }
}
%


I've tried with an empty /var/db/dhcpd.leases file but it made no difference.

I did modify Makefile.conf and includes/site.h before compiling:

% diff Makefile.conf Makefile.conf.orig
47c47
< LIBS = -static
---
>  LIBS =
%
% diff includes/site.h includes/site.h.orig
180d179
< #define DHCPD_LOG_FACILITY LOG_LOCAL2
%

but that's what I always do, and the daemon has been built the same 
way and runs successfully on earlier versions of NetBSD/i386, viz. 
2.0F and 3.99.20.  It was only when trying to run it on the current 
release that trouble started.

Actually, I do have a dhcpd 3.1.2 daemon running on a NetBSD/i386 
5.0.1 machine, but that machine was upgraded from 3.1, rather than 
being a fresh install of 5.0.1.  That machine is using the same 
dhcpd.conf file as this one.

I'd be grateful if someone could point out what the problem is.
