Handling of hostnames sent by the DHCP server has gone back to the
buggy handling of dhclient 2.x
Hostnames like ....
Hostname sent via ISC dhcpd 3.x: dhcp194.private.gothic.net.au
Used on FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x system: dhcp194.private.gothic.net.au
Used on FreeBSD CURRENT (probably RELENG_6):
64:68:63:70:31:39:34:2e:70:72:69:76:61:74:65:2e:67:6f:74:68:69:63:2e:
6e:65:74:2e:61:75:0
See bin/83468
Basically, pretty_print_option() gets upset over the trailing NUL.
Whether the server should be sending the NUL, or the client ignoring
it, I don't know, but later versions of ISC dhclient do have a fix and
that's attached to the PR
There's still the underlying problem that if the lease changes hostname
while dhclient is running, dhclient won't change the hostname, but
that's a common fault in both dhclient versions.
