While it probably doesn't relate to the thread directly, I have been
testing the new release of the PPTP Client on Linux and found that I can
cause the 'no GRE from server' symptom if I accidentally start the pppd
in such a way that it sends diagnostic messages through the GRE pipe. 
The pppd logging file descriptor was attached to the psuedo-tty that was
attached to the GRE encapsulator.
Indicator 1: if you have considerably more GRE packets sent by the
client than there are LCP packets logged by the client.
Indicator 2: examining GRE packets using tcpdump -X shows they contain
text messages that pppd would normally emit.
