Thanks for the reply Ben.  I may indeed try to make use of your patch, but
it seems to me the best way to handle this would be to not release the ppp
unit number until the plugins have finished their cleanup() functions.

I'm by no means a C master and am trying to find out where in the code the
"lock" on the device name pppXXX is released at.  I'm trying to trace
backwards from the sifdown() call in sys-linux.c but getting a little lost.

Anyone have any pointers on how this works?  Is it a matter of just putting
the sys_cleanup() call in cleanup() in main.c after the cleanup calls for
the channels?
