Yeah, I've been a bit lax about that. I've been so swamped by bugs
and feature requests at work, I haven't had the heart to sit down and
classify the problems carefully enough to send a pr.

The basic manifestation is demand dialed connections failing after
several login/timeout cycles. Generally, it seems to happen after at
least 3 or 4 cycles. Once ppp hangs in this manner, any attempt to
stop ppp will hang the system -- Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't get it.
I haven't really probed any further than that. I'm running -stable
current as of late on Jun 7 1996; I am at this very minute in the
process of doing a 'make world' after installing all src files from
the 2.1.5 CD-ROM. If this fixes anything, I'll let you know.
