kernel: bad magic for ppp

Since 2.1.102 (it happened with pre104-1 too), I get these warnings in my
syslog several times a day:

May 27 10:50:32 seahunt kernel: bad magic for ppp c0093400 at ppp.c:1233

The entries are always identical except for the date and time.

So far today there have been eight of them, and they occur hours apart.

I'm assuming they refer to ppp.c in the kernel tree
(/usr/src/linux_2.1/drivers/net/ppp.c) as opposed to ppp.c in the pppd
source code.

I am running ppp version 2.3.5, and I _did_ do a "make kernel" in the ppp
tree prior to compiling the kernel.

ppp seems to work fine... in fact it is more stable than it's been in
a long time. But I'm wondering what those messages mean, and if there
is something I can do to make them cease?

Thanks...

Michael
