I had this same problem and was able to find a work around in the
archives.  Rather or not, this is a *good* solution, I don't know.
However it does get you past that error.

edit the line in the ppp source file route.c and replace
struct ifreq reqbuf[32]; with
struct ifreq reqbuf[320];

Or really anything which is larger than 32.

Recompile and install, and it should work for you then.
