Sure, I can try this, but this happens regardless of whether or not I run
ppp as root or as another user.

My impression is that it would not be solved by a make world, because as I
said this problem has followed me through make world build since early
june or so.  As far as the routing tables being messed up, normally ppp
just adds a default route.  But, when it gets "screwed up" it appears taht
ppp is trying to add a separate route to every host it can, in other words
this is what my routing table looks like:

This seems rather large to me. I am running routed with -q.  I am now
thinking of trying gated.  I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing
these sig12s, and if not, then why I am the only one seeing them.
