I get messages on the X Console like:

Mar  6 20:15:40 p600 /netbsd:  zstty0: ring overrun
Mar  6 20:20:32 p600 /netbsd:  zstty0: ring overrun

Mar  6 20:56:06 p600 /netbsd:  zstty0: ring overrun

p600# dmesg               //returns
zstty0: fifo overrun
zstty0: fifo overrun
zstty0: fifo overrun
         
  "       "     "         //many more similar lines deleted

zstty0: fifo overrun
zstty0: fifo overrun
zstty0: fifo overrun
p600#


Nothing else seems to be wrong.  I cannot detect any performance problem, 
and I don't see any garbage characters.  It doesn't bother me, but I'm 
curious if it's a hardware problem or if I have something set up wrong?
