- pppd: Close already open ppp descriptors
- When using the kernel PPPoE driver in conjunction with the "persist" option,
- the already open descriptor to /dev/ppp is not closed when the link is
- reestablished. This eventually leads to high CPU load because the stray
- descriptors are always reported as ready by select().
- This patch closes the descriptor if it is already open when establishing a
- new connection. It originated from the Debian project.
