NetworkManager crashes if a vpn connection is started when a connection is already established

["Chendil Kumar" <kchendil novell com>]

I start a Novell vpn connection through NetworkManager when a connection
is already established. For the second connection the NetworkManager
crashes. Trace is attached.

Have anyone faced this problem with other vpns?

Thanks
Chendil
