Upgrade to 3.1.0 fails when dhcpd.leases is from 3.0.4

Dear David,

thank you for your quick reply.

I will open a ticket @ the bugs section. I need to talk to my customer 
regarding the dhcpd.leases/dhcpd.conf files, as these contain 
information we don't want to spread around. I'll try to debug some more 
to see if there's a specific portion of the dhcpd.leases that makes it 
go haywire.

Again, thank you for your quick feedback.

Ola
