I was able to trace it back to it's origin... The GCC and its optimizations.

Current workaround is to use -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks as compiler 
arguments to disable this aggressive optimization.

For me this seems to fix all current problems with PPP connections. Of 
course there still is some design issues that I do not agree :), but 
that is another story.
