Hi,

I haven't heard anything from John since then,
but some other users went into this problem too.

I won't duplicate the info here, all you need is in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662254   (from comment #6)
see especially Dan Williams' outstanding comments and his patch in 
comment #32.

Also his blog:

http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2012/07/26/dhclient-infinite-lease-follow-up/

The original John Levon's bug is now public here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789601
