I seem to recall, and I may be off the mark here, as it's a dim and distant
memory, that kppp is written in Tcl which isn't the most gracious handler of
memory in my opinion - it does something weird holding onto resources
(especailly memory), which could be the cause of your problems.
Just my opinion - not dissing Tcl or anything.

Kppp sometimes thinks there's a session in progress when there
isn't.
There's probably a .pid file you can delete, but that's just my
guess.
