Michal, you could have read my report more closely. The lease file is empty.
(Additionally for the period when it was working, I was seeing the same
allocated IP each time. This is another reason why genuine exhaustion of the
IP range seemed highly unlikely.)
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.

This fixed it 100% immediately. Thanks for the help.
