Subject:   SIO interrupt level buffer overflows

Hi

I've had a resurgence of these starting a few days ago.  Basically
whenever there is fairly heavy IO (I mean as heavy as IO can get on
a COM port) the console starts spewing these messages.

It's affecting throughput on my leased line by causing errors and
retransmissions.

I suspect the kernel isn't servicing the interrupts quickly enough.
Is there any chance this is related to making sio0 my console?  Any
ideas?  I know this was discussed about a year ago but that discussion
was inconclusive.

The system is SMP (dual Pii-266) using SCHED_4BSD without WITNESS.
dmesg.boot follows.
