Forums: effort to fix OS X PPP hang bug

Two threads in our reader forums detail a possible fix for the "PPP hang bug" that has plagued Mac OS X users with dialup access to the internet since the operating system's release. The threads refer to a bug in Mac OS X where users trying to dialup to the internet via PPP through the Internet Connect application used to experience a complete system lockup lasting several minutes. Although the patched kernel extension is not an official Apple release, it is expected that it will be the basis of a finalized fix for the issue in a future release of Mac OS X, and several users have reported success after installation. (Another thread provides some background information to the issue and solution.) [updated]

Please MacNN. If a good fix is released you should indeed link to it. But linking to one of your forum's most confusing and unfocused threads with hundreds of irrelevant messages... Not only does it make your forum look non-penetrable, it also gives me the impression that you cannot compile information before you pass it on to us readers.
Can anyone describe the "Internet hang bug" fix?
