My NetBSD system acts as a router and firewall, connecting to a cable modem
and to my internal Ethernet.  The ISP to which the cable modem is connected
uses DHCP.  For some reason, my host name has changed from pentium166 (which
is in /etc/rc.conf) to dhcp-957-101.

I expect that this must be new behavior on the part of dhclient.  Why is
this happening and how can I prevent it?
