Strange - there was plenty of inane conversation between gvb and myself, 
but the list was always CC'd.  It shows up on gmane:

Essentially, Robin found a bug whereby the DHCP client is responding to 
ARP requests before all the handshaking is finished, causing his new 
Netgear router to NAK the overall request.

Hopefully you can follow the thread, otherwise I'll be happy to fill you in.
