 You omitted the important information.  Were you logged in at the
terminal, at a slave port on an annex, or with the 'telnet', 'rlogin'
or 'call' protocol?

 If you are using the 'call' protocol there is always the chance that
TIOCFLUSH correctly cleared the input buffer (which was already empty)
but did not clear the annex buffer which had not yet been transferred
to the host.
