[pptp-server] Error 629 because of Fatal signal 11

[Peter Huber]

Hi,

I installed the PoPToP from the SuSE 6.4 distribution (I think it's version 
1.0.0 of PoPToP).
When I try to connect with a WinNT client, I get the famous Error 629. The 
log file reports
a Fatal signal 11 for the PPP daemon.

Can somebody give me a hint how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Peter
