>Description:
I'm using ppp(8) to run a PPPoE session to my ISP.  I've noticed by accident that configuring it to redirect port 65535 with the "nat port" config option causes ppp to consume an ever increasing amount of memory during start up, eventually being killed by the kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
add "nat port tcp 1.2.3.4:65535 65535" to ppp.conf

>Fix:
A variable that's the condition of a while loop is overflowing.  Quick fix:
