Subject:   Random ppp -pppoe death, and no rebirth unless rebooting

I have this peculiar error trying to run user-ppp for pppoe.  Apparently
at random the client just dies.  Now that would be sort of ok, except that
trying to restart the client does not work unless I reboot, where the
client starts fine.
Here are the pertinent /etc/rc.conf entries
gateway_enable=yes
ifconfig de0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 -arp up" //outside nic
ifconfig dc0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 -arp up" //inside nic
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="background"
ppp_profile="pppoe"

That seems to be in order
ppp.conf looks like this:


set device PPPoE:de0:
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
set speed sync
enable lqr
set lqrperiod 5
set cd 5
set dial
set login
set timeout 0
set authname *******
set passwd ******
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns

I honestly have no clue why the client would most frustratingly die on me,
and of course at the most inopportune times.  Most of this ppp.conf stuff
is jibberish to me, so if anybody could point me somewhere (other than the
ppp manpage, thank you) that would help me out?  Thanks
