Try to strace it:

[root at myhost etc]# strace -f -tt -s 1024 -o /tmp/dhcpd_strace.txt dhcpd

Then check /tmp/dhcpd_strace.txt (I suggest starting from the bottom)
and see why it exited or died. The strace might give you a good clue
of what happened, and even if it tried to log anything
(unsuccessfully?) before being terminated.

HTH,
Filipe
