I saw this twice in one day on my back-end box running -current from
December 4. I was (strangely enough) running ppp, and conveniently,
``show physical'' shows the results of an ioctl(TIOCOUTQ). The tty
had (from memory) about 1700 bytes in the output queue. I was still
receiving data but the output queue was jammed and the tty
(correctly) wasn't select()ing for write.
Unfortunately, as this is a TA, I had no CTS light to check, but I
assume CTS was not high and that the modem at the other end was
having problems..... I actually wrote it off to a dodgy TA as I've
never seen the problem since :-/
