Has anyone else seen dhcpd (running 3.0.1rc13 here)
suddenly lose its syslog socket (and thus stop logging).

Here is an lsof of a newly started dhcpd:

COMMAND     PID  USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd  cwd   VDIR       19,0      512 1107473 /var/chroot/dhcpd
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd  rtd   VDIR       19,0      512 1107473 /var/chroot/dhcpd
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd  txt   VREG       19,0  1502676 1464616 /usr/sbin/dhcpd-3.
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd  txt   VREG       19,0    45401 1397776 /usr/libexec/ld.el
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd  txt   VREG       19,0   703687 1388519 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd    3u  unix 0xc1abde70      0t0         ->0xc1abd2a0
dhcpd-3.0 25401 dhcpd    4u  IPv4 0xc1b00df4      0t0    ICMP *:*
  ...

And when it stops syslogging, fd 3 is gone, and fd 4 is the lowest fd in use.
