reopen 583139 thanks Happenned again today when I had to reboot. Reverting to -22 fixed the problem, and I guess it triggers with the DHCP leases. Do not know how to go further on investigating this issue. I could not reproduce because I wasn't clearing the DHCP state.
Interestingly, /var/log/daemon.log has been filling with lines like the following (I hadn't notitced that) : Jun 11 09:32:58 ripley0 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 1.2.3.4 port 67 while running with -22lenny1, every 20 seconds or so.
