I’m also glad it works for me, :-), thank you, but if there is a latent problem 
with apparently dnsmasq, shouldn’t a regression like that be reported to the 
maintainer/creator/author ? 
It use to work quite well before (I’m not even sure of that anymore :-( ), as 
you can tell from my first mail, when I tried a previous version of dhcpcd. 
Should someone run more 
tests to make sure dnsmasq is the problem, before contacting the author, should 
I ???, can I ???… ,
I’m warning you :-), I’m no expert ! and I would gladly and happily relie on 
gurus ! (I’m also a bit lazy as you can guess :-))

Finally as Andrew points out, if there a potential for trouble, which I don’t 
quite understand, shouldn't it be corrected ? for the future generations !
