I have tried, but so far unsuccessfully, to get this current system to
crash.  It won't.  I did the exact opposite of you.  Instead of going back
to pre-lite2 merge, I CVSUP last night.  Make world completed successfully
and I rebuilt my kernel.  FWIW, I start ppp with ppp -auto -alias demand
from my /etc/rc.local file.  I usually leave fetchmail running in the
daemon mode where it connects once/hr to my ISP to D/L my email, so the
connection is up and down all day.  I tried killing ppp and leaving it
idle for a while, but it's still up.
