Since I've never seen this behavior myself (and neither have people
doing very high log routing tests with these cards, such as Robert
Olsson) I plan to start putting together some debugging patches for
analyzing this TX hang.

If you could run those test patches when I post them and give
the log messages they produce, I'd appreciate it.
