[Logcheck-devel] dhclient: parse_option_buffer: option ... larger than buffer

[martin f krafft]

Lately, I've been getting messages of the form

  dhclient: parse_option_buffer: option unknown-177 (65) larger than
  buffer.

from logcheck. dhclient has not been updated, so this is likely
a change in the configuration of my ISP.

As the logcheck maintainer, I now wonder what I should do with
those. In general, I tend to think that ignoring such warnings is
safe because the software caught the error condition and thus
I expect that it knows how to deal with it. But I'd like to get some
second opinions on this: should Debian's logcheck filter such
messages?
