ditto. I i think it was dhclient I've had problems with in the past.  It
daemonises and will repeatedly request IPs at seemingly random times -
sometimes even if you have no interfaces designated as dynamic.  If
you've manually assigned an IP to the interface, it will wipe it out
with DHCP information when it feels like it.  Be worth checking if
dhclient or variants are lurking in the process list unnecessarily
maybe?
