The only thing I can think of is that there is data in the old ldisc
or something like that.  I would have expected a change in ldisc to
result in incoming/outgoing buffers being dumped or at least flushed
and the new ldisc to take effect almost immediately.  Maybe that's not
the case.

I still can't understand how this is linked to pps* though.  I tried
to pull all the sources so I can read through, but my third-world
internet connection is driving me crazy and I don't know what to do
with 'git' when a transfer is interrupted.
