ether0: Restarting receiver after Buffer Fill ?

On a PM2eR-30 running ComOS 3.1.4, I set debug 0x18, and
saw the following:

ether0: Restarting receiver after Buffer Fill
ether0: Restarting receiver after Buffer Fill
ether0: Restarting receiver after Buffer Fill
Now, I've never run 0x18 before, which is supposed to log route
updates to syslog, so I don't know if it's related.

Why would the ethernet receiver fill up its buffer? There
were about 15 users on the modems at the time. Could this be a
side-effect of modem flow control?
