Not the way I usually do this (I set this in /etc/rc.conf and call
out to a script I wrote to check for one of the various ethernet
cards I'm likely to use--wi0, an0, xi0--and dtrt for that card,
which some times means some special shenanigans for the wireless
stuff), but in light of this:

I'd say you've got a deeper problem. It smells like a misused
syscall. What does gdb say about that core? (Probably won't help
much if your dhclient binary lacks debugging symbols.)

Are you sure your userland matches your kernel? (It sure should if
they came off the same CD set...)

Have you seen if there are any patches to dhclient from OpenBSD's
web site?
