Ah OK, that sounds all right. I was reacting to the "broken
userspace" in the patch description which at first glance seemed to be
saying that userspace (i.e. pppd :) is doing something which has
recently been declared to be wrong and therefore it is "broken".

I think "fix broken userspace" as a patch headline is quite
ambiguous. Something like "Fix bug in conversion to use IDR" would be
more informative.

Paul.
