I am not sure if this is related to bad packets, a bad pptp patch, poor 
kernal .. I am at a loss.

I haev a firewall iptables on FC3.  It was reciently pached to include 
support for pptp.  When one of the users (who has a linux desktop) tries 
using pptp, the firewall crashes .. (the entire box panics).  Any ideas 
how one user could bring the firewall down .. I need to fix this somehow 
.  THis problem does not appear when windows users attempt to use pptp.


THank you for any advice,
Peter
