strangeness in ppp

every since the late 1.3.8x kernels, whenever I run ppp I get
doubled messages when it shows the remote and local ip address such as

Apr 23 05:20:42 turtle pppd[1544]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1
Apr 23 05:20:45 turtle pppd[1544]: local IP address 141.211.4.35
Apr 23 05:20:45 turtle pppd[1544]: remote IP address 141.211.4.7
Apr 23 05:20:48 turtle pppd[1544]: local IP address 141.211.4.35
Apr 23 05:20:48 turtle pppd[1544]: remote IP address 141.211.4.7

This isn't like a HUGE bug but I would like to know why this is
happening... In addition I have IP accounting turned on to use with the
new xosview which relies on IP account to show network traffic

Apparently this double message confuses the heck out of ipfwadm as I now have

turtle%sbin% ipfwadm -A -l
IP accounting rules
pkts bytes prot source destination ports
2 143 all turtle.digiwerks.com anywhere n/a
2 479 all anywhere turtle.digiwerks.com n/a
0 0 all turtle.digiwerks.com anywhere n/a
0 0 all anywhere turtle.digiwerks.com n/a

additional entries for turtle.digiwerks.com. Hence i would appreciate it
if you could tell me if I am doing something wrong here. It worked fine
before.
