Greetings! We've been happily using Linux as an ip masqueradion
firewall from sometime. We've recently upgraded to 2.0.33 for
security reasons, and have run into the above problem. The system
functions fine for days, when all of a sudden, kerneld gets stuck
trying to unload the ppp module, and the following error messages
appear in /var/log/kern.log (system Debian 1.3.1):

We never had this problem with earlier kernels. Any help would be
most appreciated.
Thanks!
