[unisog] Mac OS X 10.4.x "DHCP client sometimes remains BOUND aftersending DHCPDISCOVER" bug

[Ted Lemon]

I have to agree here: the behavior ascribed to the OSX 10.4 client is  
neither in conformance with RFC2131 nor recommended by RFC4436.    
RFC4436 pretty clearly talks about INIT-REBOOT, not INIT for sending  
DHCP messages when reconfirming an address for which a valid lease is  
held.   If you read the glossary definition for Operable Address in  
the draft, you can see that it is specifically talking about this.    
I don't really see any room for interpretation here.

So I would say that the DHCP server that you are using is not  
behaving out of spec, at least by my reading of it, although  
certainly its behavior is more restrictive than usual.
