Option 252 is used to provide a proxy server/WPAD URL to Microsoft
Windows clients. The "\n\000" value sends back a null response to
Microsoft Windows so that it stops continually sending DHCPINFORM
requests to try and obtain a proxy server/WPAD URL.

So if you remove it then I would expect to see Microsoft Windows
clients start to send DHCPINFORM requests asking for this option
(unless Microsoft have fixed their DHCP client which I highly doubt).
