Why is the PM flushing queued packets? (fwd)

Once upon a time Stephane Volet shaped the electrons to say...
>Nov 23 00:02:14 ??? error: port S1 stopped too long - flushing packet queue

Everytime I've ever seen this it has been flow control. And nearly everytime
it is that one of the modems has XON/XOFF turned on. Binary data makes an
apparent 'XOFF", the modem stops taking packets, the link dies, and the buffer
continues to fill and flush as data comes in until the user gives up and
hangs up.
