netcfg pptp-tunnel reconnect failed

I use netcfg for pptp-tunnel with such profile:

CONNECTION='ppp'
INTERFACE='ignore'
PEER='shit'
PPP_TIMEOUT=10
POST_UP="sleep 2; ifconfig ppp0 up; sleep 2; route add default dev ppp0"

Sometimes interface (ppp0) fall because of some problems in local network. And netcfg cannot reconnect:

[padavan@arios script]$ sudo NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" netcfg vpnshit
Password:
DEBUG: Loading profile vpnshit
DEBUG: Configuring interface ignore
> vpnshit already connected
[padavan@arios script]$ sudo NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" netcfg down vpnshit
DEBUG: Loading profile vpnshit
DEBUG: Configuring interface ignore
DEBUG: status reported to profile_down as: vpnshit
:: vpnshit down                                                                                                                                         [BUSY]

                                                                                                                                                        [FAIL]
[padavan@arios script]$

After this netcfg becomes unusable.
If
  this shit netcfg bug, please report about it on bugtracker, I don't know English very well. I hope developers guys teach netcfg how to "down".
Else
  tell me what I don't do right.
