Abandoning abandoned leases??

Everytime our dhcpd server restarts (and owing to "NetReg"
that is quite often) it seems to forget about all the
addresses which were abandoned.  This has become a
major problem.

If I stash a copy of the lease file immediately before
and after restarting dhcpd and do a diff on those files
I see all the abandoned leases in the before but not
the after file.

Is this a "feature"?  Or has something gone wrong?

We are running Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.1.0

Thanks,
John
