Thank for these suggestions. I've been killing dhclient and
bringing down the interface, bringing it up and restarting
dhclient. which I think does mostly the same thing. I also
removed /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.wlan*

One way forward would be to restore my system to before
the recent upgrade. For the moment, I'm using a wired
connection.
