Sounds to me like dialmon is not reading the pipe from diald
fast enough. One person reported a problem where he has the link
up almost permenantly, with long timeouts on diald; this resulted in
lots of QUEUE entries. Dunno whether this might be the same for you.
I'm making some changes to make dialmon better in this area, but
it'll be a couple of weeks or so. If this is the problem a quick
fix is to either (a) hack diald to limit the number of queue entries
output or (b) hack dialmon to ignored queue entries after, say,
the 20th in a batch.
