Allright, it is related with subnet mask indeed. I found something interesting :
I tried to use static address instead of DHCP server.

If I use a 192.168.0.1 with a mask 255.255.255.0, lisa can be started and works
nicely.

If I use a 192.168.0.1 with a mask 255.255.0.0, lisa becomes crazy. But I made a
mistake : there are two lisa services that are started ! and maybe it is why it
becomes crazy...

$ps -A
3395 ?        00:00:00 lisa
3397 ?        00:00:00 lisa

top gives the 3397 pid lisa 99% CPU !! 
3395 root       9   0  1064 1060 1004 S  0.0  0.2   0:00.00 lisa
3397 root      20   0  1104 1104 1032 R 99.3  0.2   0:57.25 lisa

After "service lisa stop"
$ ps -A|grep lisa
3395 ?        00:00:00 lisa

and top gives
3395 root       9   0  1064 1060 1004 S  0.0  0.2   0:00.00 lisa

Can you reproduce it ? I am sure this is a bug with the starting of this service
when not using a class C mask and can be easily corrected.

description: 
I have the LAN at 10.0.0.0/8. tcpdump shows that the lisa tries to do an ARP
request for probably all addresses in the network and literally bombards the net
with packets. I don't know what this might cause on a large network. To add to
this it continues these probes even after the LAN interface goes down.

This can also result in a costly problem. The following happened to me:
- I configured my notebook for GPRS over bluetooth
- I removed the LAN card from my notebook so it does not interfere with the
experiments
- I brought a PPP connection up
- The defaultroute was set to ppp0
- The lisa continued to send packets
- They all travelled to the phone, generating paid traffic :-(

The distribution is Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2

Proposed resolution: don't enable the server by default and document this
problem somewhere
