General comments:
* please make sure that your normal text has a decent line width even
when you disable line wrapping because of the log
* when you replace values in a log, please make that explicit; currently
one could think that the invalid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx MAC address could
be the source of your issue, but I'm going to assume you replaced it

I suspect that this is the root of your problem. Therefore reassigning to
the dhcp3-client package.
Andrew: a more complete log is available in the BR.
