It doesn't work. It uses "giaddr", which is the "Relay agent IP
address", for the default gateway address (this number is 0, unless
the dhcp server is on a different subnet). The gateway address is
should to be gotten through the "routersOnSubnet" option. (This is
easy to fix.)
Also, it segfaults if the server doesn't provide T1 and T2 times in
options. Servers are not required to set these options. In fact the
rfc does not say that they "SHOULD" - so this is left entirely to the
sysadmin/author of the server. (We use one of the common unix servers,
and it's not including these options. They have default values
specified in the RFC of 0.5 and 0.875 times the lease time.)
It would also segfault if the subnetmask option isn't sent, but I
don't know if this can happen.
