user-ppp problems with new kernel

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hello,
:
:a kernel change sometime between 20/1/2004 and 1/2/2004 seems to
:cause LCP problems for me. I've put up a typescript of an unsuccessful
:session on http://www.cc.ece.ntua.gr/~aoiko/typescript.bad (compare
:with http://www.cc.ece.ntua.gr/~aoiko/typescript.ok). The only change
:I could find that could be relevant is the systimer stuff, but I don't
:have the time to do a binary search. Any ideas on what I should check
:next?
:
:Thanks,
:Aggelos

    I'll setup two machines and play with user ppp to try to reproduce 
    the problem.
