IP address conflicts

Hi guys,
I'm using some test firmware based on coova chilli v1.0.6 and
openwrt/kamikaze 7.07 and I'm experiencing some really weird ip address
conflicts:
Somebody connects to the hotspot, logs in and happily surfs away while a
second person on a different PC associates and via chilli's dhcp gets
assigned the *same* ip address as the former. The consequence is that
the second person cannot connect to the Internet at all as he/she won't
even get to the splash page. I've seen this happen on Windows XP at
least but it might happen on other OS's too.
My chilli subnet is defined as "net 172.18.0.0/22" in my chilli config file.
Has anybody seen this happen before? David, were there any changes in
dhcp.c in v1.0.7 that might have fixed this ? I can't easily track
source changes because of the absence of a web-based svn interface
supporting diffs...
Gunther
