I have seen silo overflows on my serial port when I am using user mode ppp when using a PS/2 mouse and moused.
Whilst downloading a large file I was able to cause multiple sio silo overflows by moving the mouse. I have stopped using moused since then (because of this) and can now download large files without problem but can still cause my serial ports to be unusable (requiring a reboot) if I run MAME first (before getting on the net) or while I am on the net. I can still use a PS/2 mouse, just not with moused, so XFree86 is using the mouse directly now instead of /dev/sysmouse.
