That is very probably true, yes.

Our DHCP return "\n" as the value of the option 252. Quick googling
revealed that some implementations strip (used to strip?) the last byte
of that option. Now, I added a null byte at the end of the option. Let's
see if it helps.

Unfotunately not. I haven't been able to do any real time debugging. All
I have is the complaints that have come via our helpdesk. At least
people have had problems in the Dropbox app on MacOS.
