Hm, of course, if one starts dhclient in debug mode (foreground) by adding a "-d", everything does work. :/ Interestingly when I attach to it with strace, I see "strace: Process <pid> attached with 4 threads". The foreground process does not act on ctrl-c which at least is consistent with the broken behaviour. When not working (in the background) strace will not find/report any threads running. The other thing to note (it was mentioned before) is that looking at /proc/<pid>/fd the process has a file handle for the lease file, but looking at the time stamps it does not get updated. Likely because that is something that one of the threads would do. This also explains why dhclient under network-manager control works. Network-manager starts it in foreground/debug mode (with -d).
