Ouch. Takes 5/7 minutes here on the AMD64 resp. P4. Computer museum? :P
Anyhow, I tested PPP for 2.5 hours on the AMD64 the day before 
yesterday with a bidirectional transfer that maxed out the upstream.
Last night, I additionally put some load on the CPU. Another 3 hours, no 
problems whatsoever. Looks like the bug does not manifest on that system.

The next step will be to clone .config's settings as far as possible with 
the different hardware and try again.
