Iain sadly yes. There's a thread stuck holding the BUSY bit or a thread 
failed to clear the bit properly
(maybe an error path). Data continues to arrives, but the transport 
never gets put back on the queue
because it's BUSY bit is set.  In other words, this is a different error 
than the one we've been chasing.

If I sent you a patch, could you rebuild the kernel and give it a whirl? 
Also, can you give me a
kernel.org relative commit-id or tag for the kernel that you're using?

Thanks,
