Hi,

I'm trying it out in version 3.50-pre2.  First of all, the following
patch seems necessary:

--- linux.c     2007-04-03 16:46:00.566289677 +0200
+++ linux_new.c 2007-04-03 16:45:47.804863682 +0200
@@ -156,6 +156,7 @@
       fprintf(stderr, "%s: unknown option: %s\n", progname, arg);
       return 1;
     }
+    argp++;
   }
 
   if (!arg) {

Even with this, my dhcpinfo.dat file is nothing but 12 zero bytes.
I'm trying to investigate this further, but could use some guidance.
