Take a look at this (all quoted verbatim)

Old bugtool
-----------

CSCeh62257

Description : Full virtual-access interfaces are leaking PPP handles

Symptoms: PPP does not establish new sessions.

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that is 
configured with full virtual-access interfaces when a PPP leak occurs.

Workaround: Reload the router and configure virtual-access subinterfaces
instead of full virtual-access interfaces.

Fixed in:

12.3(14.14),
12.4(1.6),
12.3(7)XI04,
12.4(1.8)T,
12.3(14)T03,
12.3(7)T11,
12.3(11)T08,
12.4(01b)


New Bugtool

CSCeh62257

Description : Full virtual-access interfaces are leaking PPP handles

Full virtual-access interfaces are leaking PPP handles
when full virtual-access interfaces are used, and ppp sessions are 
churned we leak ppp handles due to a miss int eh free function of the 
virutal-access interface.

workaround:
use sub virtual-access interfaces (should be done anyways for scalability)


Fixed In:

12.4(1b)M
12.4(1.8)T
12.4(1.6)M

12.3(14.14)M
12.3(7)XI4
12.3(7)T11

I'm guessing that the former is the customer facing description and in 
such case please tell us that PPP handles are leaking memory in the body 
as opposed to saying that something happens "when a PPP leak occurs".

In such case the new explanation make me freak even more when it 
suggested that the fix is in versions completely unsuitable for running 
a production VPDN box on!!

(where as at least the old bugtool paves the way for using a GD release)

Dave.
