Can someone please, for the love of god, tell me why this happens:

Dec 24 20:53:46 drwho /kernel: sio1: 14 more interrupt-level buffer 
overflows (total 14)

This happens almost always when I use zmodem to upload files using Minicom.
Right now, the problem is so bad, I cannot upload files using zmodem!  The
transfer cancels itself out and my syslog fills up with the above messages!

The modem is a USR Sportster 33.6 internal... never had a problem with it
under other OS's....

I have posted this question numerous times and have yet to ever hear even
so much as a word about it.  I've posted it to the bug reports section on
the freebsd web page.  I've posted it on the newsgroups.

Does anyone know what this is all about?  is anyone *working* on it?  I
would think this is a pretty serious problem, especially for those who
are running ISP's, etc.. and NEED to use Zmodem file transfers routinely!

I have tried to go through the kernel source, but that is a bit over my
head...  Can something be done about this by more experienced kernel hackers?
