Subject: Bug#306261: pppd does not properly close /dev/ppp on persist
When using the kernel PPPoE driver, pppd never
closes /dev/ppp when the link has come down.
It opens superfluous fds to the device each time it re-opens the
connection, with the unclosed ones falsely reported always ready for
data by select().
This makes pppd eat up 100% CPU time after the first persist because of
the always instantly returning select() on the unclosed fds.
The problem also occurs with the upstream version, but does not occur
when a pty/tty device is used for the ppp connection.
