Core issue
This issue is due to the presence of Cisco bug ID CSCsd51126.
This issue is specifically seen on Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) dialup connections on the Intel platform with a mismatch length error message in the VPN client logs.
This is sample output from the VPN client logs:

Output size mismatch. Actual: 0, Expected: 237. (DRVIFACE:1319)

Unable to acquire local IP address after 5 attempts (over 5 seconds), probably due to network socket failure.

For a workaround:
Download and install Mac OS X VPN client version 4.9(1.30) from Cisco Downloads.
