>Description:

	pppstats -v gives NON-VJ statistics.  occasionally, i've seen it report
	values of 2^32-1.  the code in question from pppstats.c:

		if (vflag)
			printf(" %6u %6u",
				V(vj.vjs_tossed),
				V(p.ppp_ipackets) -
				V(vj.vjs_compressedin) -
				V(vj.vjs_uncompressedin) -
				V(vj.vjs_errorin));

	i've put a debugging printf() in the pppstats.c and it shows that the
	p.ppp_ippackets is less than the combation of the other three, which
	explains why it's underflowing.

>How-To-Repeat:

	pppstats -v and watch.
>Fix:
	none yet.
