Sounds *really* like an installation thing. Can you remove the UID
bit on ppp and run it as root. You should get a core with the sig 12
- it would be interesting to know what the syscall problem is.
The routing table thing also sounds like something's out of step.
Perhaps a "make world" followed by a kernel install then a reboot is
in order ? What sort of "screwing up" does your routing table
experience ?
