OSPF Multilink routing issue

I have an issue that has been racking my brain and I just can not figure it
out.

I have 3 routers Using Multilink PPP. R6 ----- R2 ------ R5

When all links are up R2 believes any routes behind R5 are actually reachable
through R6. The example below is a loopback on R5 (5.5.5.5). In all cases it
knows that 143.43.65.5 is the next hop, however the router believes to get to
143.43.65.5 is through Multilink 2 when it has to route. (aka pinging
143.43.65.5 works from R2, but every route in the routing table shows
143.43.65.5 via Multilink 2 when it should actually follow Multilink 1)

Area 0 is on a loopback on R2.

Any help would be great. I am pulling out the few hairs I have left on the
top of my head. I have tried every show command I and think of and even
started trying show commands I never heard off. Tried several different
debugs but nothing!

If I don't figure it out soon, my head may get so bare and shiney that light
bouncing off of it may blind a proctor during my lab. How many points do you
lose for that?
