We had the same problem.
What we ended up finding is that when the reply message was getting
generated there were too many options trying to be returned to the
client in the bootp reply.
We also noticed that there was garbage in, I believe, the gateway
fields when the reply was overflowing.
I ended up adding the following to the options.c and that fixed the
problem.
linux_x:/usr/local/src/dhcp-2.0/common# diff options.c.20 options.c
216a217,223

> priority_list [priority_len++] = DHO_DOMAIN_NAME;
> priority_list [priority_len++] = DHO_DOMAIN_NAME_SERVERS;

We felt that these were the only options we needed to have sent to the
client.
Hope that helps.
