>Environment:

	ppp connection. Mail goes away directly using SMTP

>Description:

	For some reasons connection hang (first time in three days).
	pppd did not notice. sendmail logged:

Nov 29 02:38:42 aldan sendmail[28759]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(mi): before readcf: fd 1 not op en: Bad file descriptor
Nov 29 02:38:42 aldan sendmail[28759]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(mi): before readcf: fd 2 not op en: Bad file descriptor

	After connection reastablished (gracefully killed pppd and
	started again), mail was not sent out (at least, not logged
	as such), and mailq says: "... empty".

>How-To-Repeat:

	Do not know how to hang the line without pppd noticing. Unplug
	the modem?

>Fix:
	
	Do not know.
