The assign-address functionality is part of the PPP code - nothing to
do with the routing protocol in use, so I don't see why OSPF versus RIP
would have any effect.

...very interesting. Did you manage to get traces of this happening ? Routing
tables ? Have you tried going back with the same config to see if it's still
happening (We'll do this in the LAB, but if you already did.....:)
