[SOLVED]dhcpcd update from 5.1.4-1 to 5.1.4-2 killed my network

I have a laptop with testing enabled that uses wicd to manage its network connections. I followed the wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd to install this and it worked flawlessly for over a year by now although nearly daily I ran pacman -Syu.
But Today my network stopped working. Further investigation showed that dhcpcd 5.1.4-2 was the culprit. Downgrading this with pacman -S core/dhcpcd is bringing me back to business again. I'm filing a bug report too.

Solved with today's upgraded dhcpcd (5.1.4-1 -> 5.1.5git20100127-1)
BTW, duplicate entry, see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=688286
I searched the forum but for 'dhcpd' instead of 'dhcpcd' - my fault, sorry for any inconvenience
