Sounds like one of your libraries is buffering output and is returning
too soon.  Are you running exactly the same distribution/version on
each?  Perhaps one got an online update and the other did not?  That's
the only thing I can think of that would cause this type of trouble.

I wouldn't suspect hardware differences, as it sounds like you're using
Digium hardware for both, where it matters.
