            Bug ID: 1001944
           Summary: The  DHCPREQUEST message should contain the same 'xid'
                    as the DHCPOFFER message.

patch that fixes this bug

According to RFC 2131 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2131.html): "The 
DHCPREQUEST message contains the same 'xid' as the DHCPOFFER message."
So in a DHCP DORA cycle (Discover-Offer-Request-Acknowledge) the same 
transaction ID should be used ('xid' in C code).
Now the next 'xid' is taken: "Happy to advance, so new XID"
