Package: ppp Version: 2.4.3-20050321+2 Severity: normal Despite the fact the fact that this could cause pppd to hang, I have only given this bug a severity of normal, since it should only happen on improperly configured systems.
The problem is that if mfd is opened, but its associated sfd cannot be opened for any reason, then the mfd will not be closed, and an attempt will be made to re-use mfd to open another PTY. I found this problem while trying to search for a PTY leak while using the pty command, but this is not the problem. If no patch is produced in the next week or so, I will try to submit a patch to resolve this problem.
