Bug report:

I am running dip-3.3.7o-10 and initscripts-3.32-1 on Red Hat 5.0 Intel and
was unable to terminate an established SLIP connection in the standard
fashion.  After some hacking around I discovered that the problem
was that when dip establishes a connection, it changes it's argument
list to '-dip (IP_ADDRESS)' where IP_ADDRESS is the local IP address.
This of course breaks the network-scripts handling of the connection.
I've modified /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-sl to take this
into account and included the modified file below.  I don't think it
will work for people with dynamically allocated IP addresses though...
