As with a -current kernel of about May 9th these messages vanished completly!
No changes of environment or hardware were done!

Interestingly enough with a -current kernel build today (sup from
sup.netbsd.de.org today) I get some:

   asc_intr: data overrun: buflen 4096 dmalen 4096 tc 4048 fifo 13

followed by a crash!

Any ideas?
