You can increase its verbosity in /etc/init.d/dhcpcd, so that the logs show 
more of what is happening to cause the crash.

Also, here at least, I have /run/dhcpcd/ with its subdirectories as well as 
/run/dhcpcd-enp11s0.pid both owned by root:root, but this is a laptop and the 
dhcpcd is launched by ifplugd.
