DHCP Issues

I am currently experiencing two different DHCP issues in version 3.1.0 and 
4.1.0.  They are both compiled from
source on Solaris 10 SPARC.

SunOS contour 5.10 Generic_127111-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V215

Problems:

Version 3.1.0

We are experiencing "booting disallowed" for clients that are not 
blocked.  I have seen many posts about earlier versions having this issue.
Restarting DHCP always makes the problem go away.

Before Restart

Feb 25 18:27:09 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPDISCOVER from 
00:04:23:59:0d:13 via 129.68.128.13: booting disallowed
Feb 25 18:27:24 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPDISCOVER from 
00:04:23:59:0d:13 via 129.68.128.13: booting disallowed


After Restart

Feb 25 18:28:13 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPDISCOVER from 
00:04:23:59:0d:13 via 129.68.128.13
Feb 25 18:28:14 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPOFFER on 
129.68.129.85 to 00:04:23:59:0d:13 (gateway) via 129.68.128.13
Feb 25 18:28:14 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPREQUEST for 
129.68.129.85 (129.68.65.21) from 00:04:23:59:0d:13 (gateway) via129.68.128.13
Feb 25 18:28:14 contour dhcpd: [ID 702911 daemon.info] DHCPACK on 
129.68.129.85 to 00:04:23:59:0d:13 (gateway) via 129.68.128.13


Version 4.1.0

When I try to upgrade to v4.1 the server works normally for a period of 
time and then just stops responding.  In some cases it has
run for days and others it only hands out addresses for a few seconds and 
then stops.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
