I noticed very early this morning when I turned the monitor on, and wondered why my 'make world' was still running (I had started it about 12 hours earlier, and it was only about 20% done... my machine is not this slow :-). I fired up a top, and noticed ppp using practically all my CPU. I killed it (it wouldn't respond at the telnet port), restarted it, and did a few things on the net. I let it time-out again, and the ppp process started using all the CPU again (and I killed it again and restarted it... now I'm writing this). I noticed this message on the console when I re-started it: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf217c980) was (0xf217cd00) but it otherwise seems to work properly. (that message or similar pops up sometimes when ppp starts, but does not appear in the ppp source). >How-To-Repeat: I don't know, it seems to happen without much pattern. It will be fine for days, then it's eating too much CPU. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
