It's kernel related.

This is kind of a known problem. There have been reports of setups 
working with kernels <= 2.4.10 but I'm not sure if they really ever 
tested them with Linux clients.

I don't know of any solution, though. Newer kernels just don't work 
for Linux clients. Somebody here posted a patch to the pptp client or 
server that didn't make sense to me that was supposed to fix it but I 
didn't try it. I'm still running 2.4.2 (!) on my server for that 
reason. This really sucks but what can I do? Please tell me if you 
get this working.

I tried 2.4.12-ac5 on my server and at least that kernel didn't work.
