Hello again!

In the meantime I've worked through states.c and found a few bugs that 
make the correct
parsing of DUID-LLT's and DUID-LL's impossible. A self-compiled, 
corrected version of
dhcpagent seems to work (at least for me ;*). I filed a bug 
(https://www.illumos.org/issues/6928) with a diff-file. Hope this will 
help a little. (I run OI_151a9, but
the source of dhcpagent is still the same in the current illumos sources.)
