It is very likely that what is causing this behavior is the subnet of
the ISDN being advertised/redistributed from IGRP back into OSPF. In
particular when the ppp session is setup, a /32 route for the IP of the
other end of the connection is put into the route table. When the
connection is broken the /32 route is withdrawn. IGRP sees a route
update and redistributes into OSPF. OSPF generates an external LSA and
needs to bring up the ISDN circuit so the LSA can be transmitted and the
database kept in sync.
There are two good ways to resolve this issue. You can filter the
redistribution to prevent the subnet of the ISDN from being redistributed
(probably the more common of the solutions) or you can configure the ISDN
interface so ppp does not insert the /32 route.
There have been quite a few threads on this subject and a search of the
archives might be helpful in finding more details.
