I go to a coffeeshop that has a OpenWRT router. If not reset, the router will 
stop giving out DHCP leases at some point (usually after a couple days). I 
suspect that the DHCP server is not releasing leases when they expire. The 
person who maintains the router has it set to reboot once a day to deal with 
the issue.

Just personal experience with myself and a few friends.

I can't really confirm or deny the existence of the bug. I just know that I 
have experienced it on OpenWRT and not on DD-WRT.
