I assume you're using -current.
I've seen this in my test environment recently. I can't fathom
what's going on here. The only thing that's changed recently
here is that ppp now uses proper random numbers (I have several
"entrophy" IRQs set up) to generate the magic number. It doesn't
fail always - sometimes things are ok (~30% of the time). This
is over a direct serial link from a -current box to a RELENG_2_2
box. My ISP connection from the -current box has *never* seen
this problem.
I'll try undoing the random stuff in GenerateMagic() and see
if it helps........
