my question is if step 3's release is done before the client is actually moved 
to the new network...

if no, does the client actually transmit the release to the server? if it does, 
how does that release packet get to the original server if the client is now on 
a different network?

admittedly, these questions may not matter due to the apparent nature of the 
possible bug being discussed... i may also be being too simplistic and somewhat 
ignorant of how a DHCP address release really works...
