Just an FYI:
I've noticed some bugginess in dhclient or route under 5.1-RELEASE.
It seems to be tied to route handling somehow.
For example, last night I shut down my wi0 interface and
brought up my fxp0 interface using dhclient. For some reason,
ANYTHING that had to access the network would just "spin"
(for lack of a better word). CPU was at or near 98% _idle_,
but any programs that used the network were incredibly slow
to start (like, 30 minutes for LinNeighborhood, etc...).
I also ran netstat, and it "hung" after writing the field
descriptions to the terminal. Bringing my fxp0 interface
down would always solve the problem and all programs would
speed up again (but obviously they no longer had network
connectivity).
I solved the problem by killing dhclient, flushing my routes,
and adding my default route back in using 'route add'.
I ran ktrace on my mozilla process while all of this was
happening (the window hadn't appeared yet, but mozilla-bin
was running), and here is a sample of the kdump output:

I seem to remember someone else having trouble with
this same (or similar) thing a month or so ago.
Again, just an FYI. I'm not sure what caused it.
Thanks!
