Followup:  The problem is that the server is giving us about a 500,000,000
second lease, and NetBSD refuses to let select() sleep for more than
100,000,000 seconds.  I don't know if that number (in itimerfix, in
kern_time.c) is meaningful or arbitrary.  In any event, I've notified
dhcp-bugs that they should check the return of select, and I'm notifying
Connectix that they should give plausible lease times.
