Since I have to route packets to/from ppp to/from my serial connection, I have a shunt program that talks to a file descriptor from /dev/ptmx and tell pppd to use the corresponding /dev/pts/0. Hmm... more updates... I've realized that this problem does not occur when using BSD-compression. I dug on this a little further and noticed that in linux-2.4.18, there are two files "zlib.[ch]" in drivers/net that's actually used by ppp_deflate.c. Why is it not using the kernel's "inflate.c"?? I noticed that these "zlib.[ch]" files are no longer in 2.6.20; so as an experiment, I copied these two files from 2.4.18 including drivers/net/ppp_deflate.c to 2.6.20 and use them instead; the result: Deflate works! Could there be a bug somewhere in the deflate code?
