OK, I see you're using pppd - unfortunately this is known to have serious problems and is essentially unmaintained in FreeBSD. Use ppp(8) instead, or if you really don't want to change over then you'll have to configure debugging as in the developers' handbook chapter on kernel debugging, and try to determine whether or not pppd is really to blame.
