So, we have a reproducer. In my case the trick is in
 default-lease-time infinite;
 max-lease-time infinite;
and then
1) let some client get a lease
2) restart the server
and now the first client's request will send the server down.

So it's probably not a security problem after all.

However upstream is asking for some more info.
I already answered what I know and will re-send the questions directly to John
because I don't think we need to use this ticket as an intermediary.
