I was consistently having this problem where pump would blow up and
consume 95+% cpu cycles within 24 hours of running. I could not control
the interface when this happens and pump would always fail if i restarted
it. The only fix was to reboot.
I did eventually find a better solution.
rpm -e pump
rpm -i dhcpcd-1.3.17pl5-2.i386.rpm
Additionally, you can modify the /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown scripts and
replace the pump invokations with the dhcpcd equivalents.
This is on RH6.1.
