Description Alex Kanavin 2001-05-14 20:56:41 UTC 
Before ppp-watch calls ifup-ppp, it checks what signals have arrived during
sleep. The sigint is not in this list, though ppp-watch can receive it from
parent ppp-watch attached to the terminal, if we press ctrl-c for example.
Therefore ifup-ppp is called when it shouldn't (right before exit).

A very simple patch fixes this.
