Last time I used DHCP was on a Windows95 computer 7 years ago, and
I've only had a quick look at /etc/rc.network, so this is just a
guess...
you already have a default route by the time rc.network reaches that
loop you quoted because interfaces are set up before the routes, and
it *looks* like you get the default route from the dhcp config. look
at dhclient.conf(5) and related pages.
