On my 4.5-stable box, I've noticed what I think is a bug with ppp. I have
noticed that when I leave ppp -auto -nat isp running for a few days, it's
list of ips, will grow over time. It doesn't seem to properly remove the old
address, and associated route.

It appears to be random though, I can't reproduce it, sometimes it seems to
down the interface completely, other times it doesn't, as shown below.

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1524
        inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 209.239.196.118 --> 209.239.192.19 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 209.239.207.138 --> 209.239.207.3 netmask 0xffffff00
