Hi,

as my collegue Brainslayer (DD-WRT) says: "das ist nicht der pppd
prozess. sondern ein subprozess von pppoeserver stirbt und der hält pppd
fest und damit wird pppd zum zombie, weil papa tot ist".
translated: its not the pppd process. a pppoeserver subprocess dies and
doesnt kill his pppd partner so he becomes zombie.
sadly i dont have the chance to strace cause DD-WRT is embedded
squashfs. we dont support it up to now.
maybe its a 2.11 beta problem?

regards
sash
