There was a problem with dhcp-3.0.1-16 in FC4 - the new gcc version
3.4.3-11 miscompiled dhcpd - the '__attribute__((mode(byte)))' type 
that the lease->binding_state has tickles gcc bug #144358 .
See : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144250
I submitted dhcp-3.0.2rc3-1 to FC4, that is compiled with gcc33 and
does not have this problem.
FIX: install dhcp-3.0.2rc3-1 on your dhcp server.
