[RndTbl] Shaw DHCP weirdness or attack?

[Trevor Cordes]

Starting Nov 29 04:16:10 I start seeing a new error in my /v/l/messages 
from dhclient (the DHCP client for my Shaw internet connection):

Nov 29 04:16:10 pog dhclient[1271]: parse_option_buffer: malformed option 
dhcp.fqdn (code 81): option length exceeds option buffer length.

And it repeats every 30-39s for hours, then sometimes stops for a while.  
Sometimes skips a day but then starts up again.

Is someone trying a known DHCP buffer overflow attack on my Shaw segment 
or is this something legit that Shaw is passing out that linux doesn't 
understand?  I know what fqdn means, though why it should exceed buffer 
limits is beyond me.

Can others check their logs and see if they're getting this too?

There was 1 other weird dhclient error before this started:
Nov 27 06:52:55 pog dhclient[1271]: parse_option_buffer: malformed option 
dhcp.uap-servers (code 98): option length exceeds option buffer length.
