Well, I stripped it down as much as I could - same problem exists... (IP
addresses and domain name changed, of course...)

ddns-update-style none;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.101 10.0.0.200;
        default-lease-time 86400;
        max-lease-time 604800;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
        option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
        option routers 10.0.0.1;
        option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.75, 10.0.0.76;
        option domain-name "mydomain.com";
}

But like I was saying before, if it were a config problem, it wouldn't
have been able to start on the command-line in non-daemon mode.  Same
problem when I downloaded it from www.isc.org (3.0.7) and rolled a
source build.  So there's definitely something strange (or obvious that
I'm missing) going on...
