I just experienced this same crash with pptp-linux-1.7.2-6 in Ubuntu 11.04. Should I open a separate bug report about that?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dmitry-Kogura (dmitry-kogura)]

I get so bug sometimes on start Oneric Beta 2.

[Leif Halldor Asgeirsson (vikingurinn)]

I am experiencing this bug in 12.04 Precise Beta1; the crash occurs right after I log in, but not when I start a pptp VPN connection (which works without a hitch).

[Casey Greene (casey-s-greene)]

I now have the exact same situation as vikingurinn. I didn't have this with earlier versions (pre beta) of precise.

[Andrew Choi (andrewchoi43)]

I'm having the same issue on 12.04.

[Ian Hyzy (ianhyzy)]

I have this issue on 12.04 as well.
