Hi Daran,

Yes, I had the same problem (DHCPRELEASE packets causing a Bus Error) and 
found the error in the code - haven't made the time to send this patch in
to a maintainer yet though...

Here's a context diff for the bootpd.c file where the error occurs:

---
*** bootpd.c.orig	Thu May 23 07:43:44 1996
--- bootpd.c	Thu May 23 07:46:29 1996

  					dhcp = *p;
  					break;
  				case TAG_DHCP_SERVERID:
! 					isme = (len==4) && my_ip_addr.s_addr == ((struct in_addr *)p)->s_addr;
  					break;
  				} /* switch */
  				p += len;
--- 1551,1557 ----
  					dhcp = *p;
  					break;
  				case TAG_DHCP_SERVERID:
! 					isme = ((len==4) && (bcmp(&my_ip_addr.s_addr, p, 4) == 0));
  					break;
  				} /* switch */
  				p += len;
---

Works fine here.

David
