I get that occasionally; the PID seems to suggest it's related to
synchronous/asynchronous links. I also get the following often:

anon log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:395]: discarding duplicate or old
packet 643 (expecting 2040)

but I've put that down to links redialling and TCP sequence numbers
and things. I should probably mention that this box handles 70-odd
links to all over the place, which can be dialled and disconnected by
staff as needed. No idea how many links were connected when I did the
test above.

I grabbed the patch from http://mppe-mppc.alphacron.de/. Did I mention
it works fine with the other 70-odd connections? :)

I just tried it with Knoppix 5.0.1 (not the latest I know, but it has
2.6.17 and pppd version 2.4.4b1, both of which are newer than what I
used). Same problem.
