And this is the problem (I think). I've had that happen a single time
when I was testing PPTP VPN in 1.2b5, but couldn't reproduce it
again. I searched the MPD mailing list and Google, but to no avail.
Could be triggered by some changes to netgraph in 5.3-RELEASE...
Maybe someone could place a post on the MPD mailing list to ask if
that's a known problem.
