I got this same problem moving from 2.1.63 to 64. 65 fixed this
but every now and then the kernel buffs in a bad way and everything starts
segfaulting in this fastion starting with pppd. I try to shoutdown but
everything segfaults on shutdown adn the fs has to be checked on boot up.
I havent had stability problems like this with 2.1.X before 63 is
it the pent bug work around?
