Messages flooding logs

I've been getting heavy copies of "message repeated n times" in my logs (syslog
and daemon.log); the messages that appear to be setting it off are

DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
and
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67

I'm not running pump; I can connect out just fine.

1) What's wrong?
2) How do I make it stop?

Maybe your lease time is set to a low value. Not familiar with pump but
most DHCP clients have a config file in /etc where you can set the
lease time.

Find out which machine is making the dhcp requests and tell it to stop.
Or if it is your machine, tell it to stop.

You say you're not running pump, but you're definitely running some
service that listens on port 67 and understands dhcp.

I'm running dhclient.
