    sbin/dhclient        bpf.c 
  Log:
  MFC rev 1.7
  
    It is possible for bpf to return a length such that:
  
           length != BPF_WORDALIGN(length)
  
    This meeans that it is possible for this to be true:
  
           interface->rbuf_offset > interface->rbuf_len
  
    Handle this case in the test for running out of packets.  While
    OpenBSD's solution of setting interface->rbuf_len to
    BPF_WORDALIGN(length) is safe due to the size of the buffer, I think
    this solution results in less hidden assumptions.
  
    This should fix the problem of dhclient running away and consuming 100%
    CPU.
