OPPS, the message left before I could paste snippets of the conf file.
------------ dhcpd.conf ---------------------------------------------- # #

         }

  host yyy {

                fixed-address XXX.XXX.XXX.23;
          }

....... snipped out 27 fixed-address blocks ..........

  host zzz {
                hardware ethernet 00:19:d1:05:ce:fd;
                fixed-address XXX.XXX.XXX.50;
          }
  }

-------------------- endof conf -----------------------
The ip address which are not "fixed" in the conf file do not appear to be
all in use when this happens.

Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA
Clarence
