Sorry. I just tried:

1. From a multi-user mode, after an uptime of 5 days (test11 with your
fix).
2. killed the ppp daemon (/etc/init.d/ppp stop). Made sure the ppp0
interface is down.
3. did "head -1 /proc/net/tcp" and "cat /proc/net/tcp". Passed fine.
4. re-startted ppp daemon.
5. System is fine. No kernel errors. PPP works flowlessly.

So I think my linking of PPP to the fix was wrong. Maybe the PPP failure
was unrelated to this.
