[Bug 1189571] [NEW] Large lease times cause dhclient to die

[Ben Howard]

Public bug reported:

On Windows Azure, the max lease time is used. In digging, it appears
that the problem is related to the large lease times:

>From /var/log/upstart/netwokring:
Listening on LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
Sending on   LPF/eth0/00:15:5d:52:cd:db
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPREQUEST of 100.86.20.3 on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 (xid=0x30df9c2d)
DHCPACK of 100.86.20.3 from 100.86.20.1
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Unable to set up timer: out of range
Failed to bring up eth0.

This looks like a duplicate of the RH Bug 789601
