The situation you describe is normaly not possible. I looked after that code
and IMHO it can only happen if:

 - DHCP was successful and you have shutdown the interface manually
 - DHCP was not sucessful but Pump returned sucessful exit code. In this case
   please try to run pump manually in the similar environment and forward this
   bug report to the pump package.

Gruss/Regards,
