It only happens if it gets a *lot* of traffic at once. If the buffer gets
too full, we shut down the receiver and wait until the buffer clears a
bit to restart it.

I doubt it, unless a user did something that caused a *lot* of data to
be sent to them, and this backed up to the ethernet. I guess it is
possible.
Unless you have hordes of those messages one after the other, we don't
consider it anything to worry about. Only when it is continuous do we
view it as an indication of a problem - and then it is almost always that
something on the ether is making a lot of noise.
