I've had that problem with a printer and a double-buffered UART.  As 
near as I could determine, the printer waited to send XOFF until there 
was only one or maybe two characters free in its software buffer, but by 
that time there was one char in transit, one more in the printer's 
receiver buffer register and another in the computer's UART's 
transmitter buffer register.  That's at least one too many :-)
