System: NetBSD wheel.tiac.net 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (WHEEL) #0: Wed Dec 6 17:10:45 EST 1995 gary@wheel.tiac.net:/root/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/WHEEL i386


>Description:
   After compiling a current kernel with gcc 2.7.2 and booting from
it, pppd will lock after a short time. It seems to stop around the
point where it hits 1MB of data transferred. No data is transferred
over the link, and pppd refuses to die. Eventually, if attempts to
send data over it continue, buffer space is exhausted. Current
binaries function properly (except for a minor systat display
problem) with a 1.1 kernel. May be i386 specific, but I have no
way of checking.

>How-To-Repeat:
   Compile a kernel with gcc 2.7.2, boot from it, start up pppd,
transfer some data over the link (in my case, an active file via NNTP.)
>Fix:
   Dunno.
