Here is a link showing around pppoe problem quite similar to
the one fixed later in pty.c by Alan Cox, so IMHO the current

Well it depends on whether he's using the kernel pppoe stack or
doing pppoe in user-space.  If the latter then yes those fixes
may help.  Otherwise we really need to see the backtraces.

Cheers,
