>Description:
Machine crashes when sending bootp-packets to a machine,
without a defaultroute and where the entry for the bootpclient 
is not complete (incomplete in the sense that the hostname could not
be resolved to a valid ip-address)


>How-To-Repeat:
1) enable bootp-service in /etc/inetd
2) create the following /etc/bootptab
mopie:ha=0000e8543231:bf=init:dn=test.net:ds=192.168.1.1:rp=/usr/path:sa=192.168.1.1
3) make sure 'mopie' cannot be resolved
4) delete default route:   route delete default
5) let bootpclient mopie send some bootprequests
and enjoy the core  ;-)

I've seen the same behavior for FreeBD-2.2.6 and FreeBSD-4.0-19990307-SNAP
>Fix:
temporary fix: add a default route, or make sure you don't mistype
hostnames ;-)
