pppd has its own will?

[Matteo Cavalleri <shiva.brahma@inwind.it>]

i'va an adsl connection, an alcatel speed touch home and of course
openbsd 3.2 :) i connect using pptp from the ports.

today pppd changed my ip with no apparent reason, with the consequence
that 1) all my connections dropped, 2) some of my pf rules were "out of
date", 3) my dyndns account pointed to a wrong ip

this seems very strange, and after googling a bit and asking to my
friends i still can't understand why it happened...

this is from /var/log/messages
