zcip repair mechanism

Hello,

I studied the zcip.c -code a little and found out, that zcip waits
after the assignment of the IP address in order to detect and solve 
potential future IP-address conflicts. 

But I dont understand, which conflicts are solved and which arent?

E.g. I tried the following:
- two connected devices and zcip running on both
- zcip chooses a unique IP address for both devices
- after a while, I mischievously assigned the IP address of the first device

	to the second device (manually: ifconfig eth0 <IP1>), so that
	both devices had the same IP addresses. 
In this situation, neither the zcip-process of the first nor zcip of the
second device repairs the conflict. Is this behaviour as expected?

Can you tell me: what would be a test situation, where an waiting zcip
process would become active and solves an address conflict?

Regards, Matthias
