Google around for Michael Meeks recent dbus issues with short-lived
senders.  There's a bug in dbus that could cause the last message of the
sender (in this case the DHCP callout) to get lost in certain
circumstances, though it usually only shows up on slower hardware.  That
_might_ be what's going on here.
