Hi,

The problem has now been fixed.  It was caused because of a bug in ppp where
it would only read at most one netgraph message per second.  The additional
(unused) message was adding another second - pushing things over the edge.

You can either get the latest ppp from http://www.Awfulhak.org/~brian, or
upgrade to the latest -stable or -current to fix the problem.

Oh, and my apologies for the amount of time it took to fix :(
