I have been testing some more and I can now trigger the problem
locally as well. However, I don't quite know how I managed to trigger
the issue. Still, I think I have discovered something. When I restart
network, there are two different outcomes for the dnsmasq process - it
is either killed (SIGTERM, trying to identify process) or nor. The
error always happens when the process is not killed. When dnsmasq dies
and is restarted, DHCP continues to work as normal.

BR,
Kristian
