I did try to track it and I may still have logfiles with a lot of
debugging messages. Should I try to find them ?

IIRC it happens more or less just before I get the first prompt on the
serial console. But later the counts match again, so it's a very temporary
condition. What I don't understand yet is how something looking like a
race condition can be so reproducible.

Hi,

If you can reproduce it easily, I definitely want to hear about it. Can
you send me lots of details about how your machine is configured (what
kernel version, what distribution), and what might be touching the
serial console? (i.e., what getty are you using, is there anything else
on the serial port like uucico, etc.)

In the past, most of the reports have been on fairly heavily loaded
machines, and it's been hard to reproduce. If you can reproduce it at
will on a machine configuration that's relatively easy to analyze and/or
reproduce, that would be most helpful indeed.

Thanks in advance,

- Ted
