I have seen silo overflows on my serial port when I am using user
mode ppp when using a PS/2 mouse and moused.

Whilst downloading a large file I was able to cause multiple sio
silo overflows by moving the mouse.

I have stopped using moused since then (because of this) and can
now download large files without problem but can still cause my
serial ports to be unusable (requiring a reboot) if I run MAME
first (before getting on the net) or while I am on the net.

I can still use a PS/2 mouse, just not with moused, so XFree86
is using the mouse directly now instead of /dev/sysmouse.

See my recent messages to freebsd-current entitled "silo overflows
in CURRENT ... some info that may help"

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
