on 2.2-gamma dated ~ feb 27, i see this problem every day, perhaps 1-2
times.  it's very annoying.  ppp stops responding and starts chewing cpu.
i end up killing ppp (w/ -9), doing ifconfig tun0 delete, route delete
default, and dialing in again.

my main reason for using ppp is the packet aliasing -- i need that.
