I maintain three FreeBSD boxes from 4.11 to 6.1-RELEASE and 6-STABLE.
They have been showing this for at least 1 or 2 years. So it is/was also
present in the 5.x line.

I usually work around this by having a cron job that restarts ppp every
day at 04:00 or somewhere around that.

So either I'm just unlucky or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.

Could someone paste me the snippet from ppp.log of a successful 24h
disconnect + redial?

Thanks.
