Description adam 2000-01-13 11:30:01 UTC 
When starting Gnome with the installed /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
for XFree86-3.3.6, but with 

panel &
gmc &
exec gnome-wm

as the last three lines instead of the twm nonsense.
Am using DHCP for NIC configuration.
Get plenty of these

Jan 12 18:04:14 adampc /kernel: arplookup 127.0.0.1 failed: could not allocate llinfo
Jan 12 18:04:14 adampc /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt

and performance is hurt. Takes a while to start anything.

Fix: 

In /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
network_interfaces="lo0 xl0"
How-To-Repeat: In /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
network_interfaces="xl0 lo0"

Boot and do startx

There was a bug in /sbin/dhclient-script, which caused that bug.
See PR misc/15183 and PR conf/14098.
This has been fixed in the middle of December.

Make sure you have the latest /sbin/dhclient-script.
Does the following command produce the same output for you?

# ident /sbin/dhclient-script
/sbin/dhclient-script:
     $FreeBSD: src/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/scripts/freebsd,v 1.1.1.2.2.7 1999/12/12 01:17:30 obrien Exp $
