Yes, this was actually in a bug report... (and, fascinatingly enough, though the steps for reproduction are thoroughly disconcerting, the bug report was a valid one)

I've done that.

Okay, so... why was it valid ?

I remember once someone's harddrive wouldn't spin up. They opened it up and found that the drive heads had seized to the platter. Unsticking them allowed the drive to spin up and it worked again. This would have helped if they had known what the problem was.

Ah! I see.

Because they were having problems with the drive, and when DHCP was getting an address and trying to write the address on the drive, the number of errors was _ridiculous_. They were suggesting that DHCP needed to try less frequently, I think. I don't remember exactly what they were suggesting.

Sure, the problem was the drive, but overwhelming numbers of errors makes things hard to diagnose. :)
