What sort of setup do you have ? Do you have a static IP that hasn't
got a loopback route (I add an alias on lo0 myself) ?
The only thing I ``suspect'' is that X is reading the routing socket
and notices that ``picnic.mat.net'' has been removed - despite this
not being the only such route, X decides things are broke.
Unfortunately, I don't run ppp on the same machine that I run X on
any more, so I haven't seen any such problems.
I've heard of these sort of problems before, but not from anyone
coherent enough to say more than "ppp locks X up".
Ppp isn't doing anything new in this area .....
