I'm running 2.2.8-STABLE compiled Dec. 29th, 1998 and ppp dated 990112.

I've got iijppp configured to dial out on demand, and it works fine. 
But one thing I noticed when I updated on the 29th.  ifconfig tun0 now returns
lots and lots of data instead of only one line, as I *thought* it used to!  It
seems like everytime ppp dials, it adds a new address to the interface in
ifconfig, and never deletes the old one when the link closes. 

Right now, I have 132 lines when I use "ifconfig tun0".  For example:
        inet 204.255.227.185 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
        inet 204.255.227.193 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
        inet 204.255.227.155 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff

Shouldn't it be just the one?  The last one in the list is the latest one.

"netstat -rn" only shows the latest one, as it ought to!

It all works fine, but I just thought this was odd.
