Nobody reads this list, only posts? :-) It is initscripts bug,
specifically /etc/ppp/ip-down. The simplest workaround is to add
chown root:root /etc/resolv.conf
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
in obvious place in ip-down. I'll get a look at weekend - it seems to me
that this mangling of resolv.conf in ip-down is not needed at all (it is
already handled in ifdown-post).
