Sorry for the delay, I'm reading my mails from the last one to the old
ones...

Yes, this means that you sent to this client too many messages, so
that mldonkey internal buffer is full for this client. The size of
this buffer should probably be adapted to the upload_rate (if you can
upload 10k/s, having a 500k buffer for each client is too much).

In no way this message is caused by a potential security problem known
as "buffer overflow", since mldonkey always checks for buffer boundaries.
