Any idea what you were doing in Firefox when this triggered?

Didn't you think of building a kernel from a cvs checkout
before perpetrating that hack? ;)

It does cause problems if it's at a high enough rate (sbcl
builds are a good one) and you have a "low" speed serial console
- kernel printfs lock the kernel for an appreciable time.

Same reason why you should think twice before using "pfctl
-x debug" on a busy firewall (especially one doing nat) with
serial console.
