Ah, I remember to read this somwhere in the docs. Problem is: the example
scripts on smarden.org doesn't mention this in the pppd entry (and that was
what I used when creadin my scripts). Would be nice to fix it (or 
mentioning
this problem/alternative), if someone here happens to edit smarden.org.. 
:-)

thanks,

FYI: apache2 (prefork MPM) with -DFOREGROUND has the same problem.
