Hasn't this been tagged as a interrupt issue between the com driver and
the wd ide driver?  Could everyone with this problem confirm or deny that
they're using IDE drives?

Granted I have a 1024byte FIFO, but I also run it on a 386/20 (an overloaded
and memory-strapped 386/20 that swaps like mad) with PPP at 115200 and I
have zero problems with serial issues even with wd drives.
