I can't reproduce this "bug" in all modems. If I disconnect USB modem, works fine, but I would like understand why this is happening.

I start pppd like this:

 # pppd -detach debug call my_provider

And nothing is shown at terminal. In syslog we have only one line, and chat script is not executed:
#639368#10

When the following options are supplied in /etc/ppp/options prior to
running wvdial:

* debug
* -detach
* nodetach

output is normal (non-verbose). It’s unclear if this is the same bug
as the 11 year old bug (639368) because the OP reports no output after
the “pppd 2.4.5 started by root” line. Whereas I’m seeing a little
more output but certainly not verbose. So this report was filed
upstream:
