wrong return code in pppd 2.4.5

[walter harms <wharms@xxxxxx>]

I found this bug in ppp 2.4.5 (Source:ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/ppp/ppp-2.4.5.tar.gz).

After idle the pppd should return with 12 (idle timeout) but does return with 16 (hang up).
(see log below)

Is this a known problem ? Is there a patch available ?
