It's _possible_ for things not to die properly for various reasons,
at which point something's gone wrong and all bets are off. It's still
extremely likely that you can repair it without rebooting, mind you.

After you've done the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcp stop, try ;
ps auxwww|grep dhcp

or the netstat. If it's still running, kill it directly (kill -KILL PID,
where PID is the process ID) and then try the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcp start.
