I can't say that I know what your overflow problem is. However, you are
missing compression. I ran into problems when I didn't tell pppd to turn off
compression when modprobe wasn't able to find the compress modules.
If you have the modules (bsd-compress.o and ppp-deflate.o) for your kernel
version in the right place (/lib/modules/<version>/ppp I think), then you need
to add the following to /etc/conf.modules:
ppp-compress-21 = bsd-compress
ppp-compress-24 = ppp-deflate
ppp-compress-26 = ppp-deflate
Paul Mackerras has added the definitions to the latest modutils package, so
installing that will solve the problem.
In the meantime, try telling pppd to use no compression and see if your
problems go away. If not, it will at least remove a confounding variable.
