I've reported this to David O'Brien (DHCP maintainer in FreeBSD) and Ted
Lemon (DHCP maintainer at ISC) and the problem has been fixed in the ISC
tree. I think David is going to bring the fix into FreeBSD soon.
If you can't wait, the fix is trivial:
RCS file: /usr/cvs/src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/dhclient.c,v
retrieving revision 1.16
diff -u -r1.16 dhclient.c
--- dhclient.c 2000/07/20 19:51:37 1.16

client_envadd (ip -> client,
prefix, "broadcast_address",

}
}
}
The whitespaces have probably been screwed by cut-n-paste, so you'll
probably have to use 'patch -l' or apply it manually.
