Ah, thanx for the ideas. With "dead" I mean that I could not ping any
external hosts, and when stopping the connection and restarting pppsmd, I
could not dial in again. No error messages appeared in /var/log/messages
except that the connection did not build up.
I have an external DSL modem connection via ethernet cable.

The svn repository of SDL_perl had a "corrupted" file in it, the "BUGS" file
was some sort of garbled tar archive (instead of a flat file). That garbled
file was also repored by other people, so my v0.17 actually fetched the
real file.
I think that was triggering the bug, because now that the BUGS file is a
normal text file again, I can just use v1.0beta1 and do a clean "co"
without any problems.
Should I ask if they can restore that file and try again if my svn crashes?
I think the bug will be hard to track, because if my (somewhat older) DSL
modem crashes just by software transmitting data, that is something nobody
can actually prevent or probably work around.
Thank you for your time and work,
Te"a new svn user from now"ls
Just to show that the problem now disappeared after two days (and no changes
on my side except replacing the BUGS file from the sdl-perl repository)
