The ip-up.local is a Red Hat thang, and not a file pppd directly accesses.
What is in /etc/ppp/ip-up? Is there any sign that its corrupted? That's
the file to which the pppd message refers.

It's doubtful that pppd has such a bug, if that's what you mean. Try
reading man pppd. That explains the arguments that pppd supplies to the
/etc/ppp/ip-up script. Unless you post that script, and the Red Hat
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local script since it's probably called from ip-up, it's
unlikely that anyone help much.
