" Some data about the system:
  - PPP daemon v2.4.5
  - Linux kernel v3.2.51 (same error with v2.6.35 though)

  That's a really old kernel version, can you try 3.13 or newer?  
  Lots of work has been done in the tty layer since 3.2 was released."
 
   my reading of this 'thread' suggests that "pppd" and/or "serial" have
