[pptp-server] PoPToP CTRL Troubles

[Frost]

Hi,
I've been using the PopTop server for several months now and for the most part
everything works fine.  On occasion though, the connection will break between
the client and the server and the PopTop server will beat itself to death
logging the following to /var/log/messages file:

Jun 15 17:34:11 ns2 pptpd[7196]: CTRL: EOF or bad error reading ctrl packet
length.
Jun 15 17:34:11 ns2 pptpd[7196]: CTRL: couldn't read packet header (exit)

This logfile can grow enormously in a very short period of time.  Would you have
any ideas as to what could be causing this?  Thanks for your help.
