Lease file load problems

Lease file is 68Mb, and it is on nfs mount.
At this particular problem all of these errors were recorded at the same
time.

This errors keeps happening fairly often, about once a week on two boxes
(failover peers).
I am suspecting the problem is the storage solution, but my tcp dumps
could not confirm this.
Error happens on dhcpd start. Looks like the file is being cut off
during load. No other negative behavior has been noticed (I am
suspecting that we loose a lease or two, but can't notice it among 70k
leases).

Does anybody have any idea what could cause this?
