 ...and I've finally done it; can you try doing
 
    % cvs update -j1.1 -j1.2 ccp.h
 
 in src/dist/pppd/pppd, edit out the merge conflict from the rcsid,
 rebuild the lkm, and see if that makes your problem go away? (If you
 haven't already, that is...)
 
 I will file a pullup to netbsd-5 for that patch in a couple days but
 it'll take a while for it to get processed because of the 5.1 release
 cycle.
