I'm also adding this comment because bug 49801 has been marked as a
duplicate of this one.   I'm not sure they are the same: the problem,
dhclient not killed, is the same, but the conditions are different.

I installed Edgy on a new machine late yesterday, changed eth0 from dhcp
to static in /etc/network/interfaces, ran ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 and
verified that eth0 had come back up with the correct static address.

All was well went I went home a few hours later but when I came back
this morning discovered that the address assigned to eth0 had changed
because the dhcp client was still running.

/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid was not empty; it contained the pid of the
rogue dhclient process.

I'll second tho's suggestion: could it be caused by ifdown assuming that
the relevant part of /etc/network/interfaces hasn't changed since the
network was brought up?
