I reported this problem a few OS versions back... pre-6.  I'm on 
FreeBSD-6-STABLE, and I've found the dhclient once again "wedged" in a 
mode that was eating a lot of CPU.  

The solution is to kill it, and restart.

I'm on Comcast's network, so I don't really know if their DHCP server is 
doing something that FreeBSD's stock dhclient doesn't like; however, I 
wonder if someone else has noticed this problem, etc.
