This is a bug in pppd, which should be fixed in the 2.4.0 beta2
release from ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp.
What was happening is that when pppd changed the value for one of the
environment variables that it passes to the ip-up/ip-down scripts, it
was just appending the new value to the list rather than replacing the
old value. So the environment list got longer and longer, eventually
resulting in the "argument list too long" error.
