Weird Interface Dependencies

Hello Experts,

As anyone come across issues where a serial connection (say s0/1) going
down, tend to bring down another serial connection.

The scenario is that, say RouterA has 2 serial interfaces s0/1 and s0/2.
s0/1 is a ppp connection via a V100 satellite link, and s0/2 is a
frame-relay connection with several subinterfaces ... Say
s0/2.1,s0/2.2,s0/2.3,s0/2.4,s0/2.5 etc.

The problem is, whenever s0/1 goes down, it takes s0/2 main interface
down with it, which in turn take down all the sub-interfaces with it.

Is there any reason why this should be, I'm guessing hardware related
fault on the Hub Router, or a software bug ... Anyone come across this,
please let me know.
