Description Janos Mohacsi 2000-02-08 10:40:01 UTC 
		host-name field interpreted as hexadecimal not text as described in PR 12205 by John Baldwin.

How-To-Repeat: 		Use WINNT DHCP server with host-name option set, and you got hexadecimal hostname. Probably bug in the original ISC-DHCP!

this seems to still be the case.  isc-dhcp is contributed 
software in FreeBSD, you should take this up with the authors.
