I can't tell you what's wrong, but I had the same problem, and worked
around it by disabling demand-dialing mode: comment out the line in
/etc/ppp/peers/provider that says `demand', by changing it to `#demand'.
This means that ppp will connect immediately, and stay connected instead
of waiting until you try to access the net.  If you don't use
demand-dialing mode, then I'm not sure what you can do...

[it's a good thing that there's this work-around, since otherwise I
wouldn't be able to download any fixed version!]

The bug seems to have crept in in the most recent version, btw, as it
exists in 2.4.1-2, but not 2.4.1-1.
