Okay, I'm still being bit by this.  It had been bad enough with previous
releases that I rolled back to l2tpd-0.69cvs20051030.

On hearing the news that 1.1.07 was out, I upgraded yesterday hoping for
the best.

Unfortunately by this morning our L2TP users were unable to connect.
There were two pppd sessions present, but neither of them were
functioning.  Restarting xl2tpd (also had to "kill -9" one of the pppd
processes) allowed the users to successfully connect again.

I'm seeing lines like this in /var/log/pppd:

Any other logging I should enable/look for?

PPP version is ppp-2.4.2-6.4.RHEL4 running on CentOS 4.
