Well, one of Free/Net/OpenBSD, at least, and not BSDi, and with the
reference to FreeBSD, it'd have to be the leading candidate.

Running file on the executable they want you to update reveals:

    {foo} ~/nc 7:42 ttyp7 > file dhcpd
    dhcpd: BSD/i386 compact demand paged dynamically linked executable 
    not stripped

Not surprising, I guess, but no one has mentioned it before.
