Any compiler-generated code is not supposed to contain illegal instructions to the CPU. What's the instruction it is falling over about? What did your ppp do by that time? C'mon, you're also expected to contribute your part of the story. (Recompile ppp with -g and same optimization, and have a look into the core.) Try reproducing it again and look whether it crashes at the same location. I would suspect not. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
