>Originator:     Klaus-Juergen Wolf
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

i386 (Pentium II-300, 96MB RAM), ELSA TanGo 2000 (ISDN-"Modem") at
serial COM interface (and, it appears, similar ELSA products)

>Description:

Under certain circumstances (it appears, high I/O load), PPP
userland/client unpredictably throws a core. That didn't happen
with 3.2-RELEASE and, as I remember, neither with 3.3-RC. (I have
updated the "Modem"'s firmware in the meantime, but that doesn't
appear to be the real reason, since it works under 3.2-REL like
it did before.)

>How-To-Repeat:

Under certain circumstances (empty cache, empty proxy), browsing
http://www.jpc.de/ has seemed to be a reliable method to produce a
PPP's core dump, while there were several I/O-intensive processes in
the background (load above 1.8). It's a site with very many objects are
to be loaded at the same time.

>Fix:
	
Unknown. Brian has been informed, but I lack of the ability to supply
the data he wants.
