PPP layer dies (re faq 4.7)

According to the FAQ ...

   4.7 I'm getting the message "PPP network layer died, but link did
   not. Probable configuration error." in my system logs. What does it
   mean?

   The PPP specification allows for the network layer to be brought up
   and down multiple times within a single PPP session. Normally this
   never happens. It is happening to you... To solve this problem you
   must be sure that you are not loading the bsd_comp module, and you
   must include the "-bsdcomp" option in your /etc/ppp/options file.

I put -bsdcomp in options, but it has no effect.  I also tried
nobsdcomp and bsdcomp 0 as specified in the pppd 2.4 man page.

Any other possible solutions for this?  The situation appears on
perhaps 25% of all our initial connections and is driving us nuts.
