           Summary: Failure to communicate with serial device
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files

        ReportedBy: keldon at ont.com


I'm trying to run Garmin's "UPDATER.EXE", which is supposed to load a new
firmware image into a GPS device.  Communication is done over a serial port.

If I run the program without any debugmsg flags, it fails immediately,
complaining that it can't find the GPS.  However, if I run with:

--debugmsg +comm,+file,+serial

then it gets a bit further.  The first thing it does is get the model number and
current firmware version from the device.  But it soon fails again before
beginning the upload.  Here's an annotated debug log:

trace:comm:COMM_Init COM1 = /dev/ttyS0
trace:comm:COMM_Init LPT1 = /dev/lp0
trace:comm:COMM_Init COM2 = /dev/ttyS1
trace:comm:COMM_Init COM3 = /dev/ttyS2
trace:comm:COMM_Init COM4 = /dev/ttyS3
trace:file:CreateFileW L"COM2" GENERIC_READ GENERIC_WRITE OPEN_EXISTING

trace:file:WriteFile 0x4c 0x40f01851 6 0x41222670 (nil)
trace:comm:ClearCommError handle 0x4c cbInQue = 0 cbOutQue = 0

(this line is repeated many times, presumably while it waits for input)

trace:comm:ClearCommError handle 0x4c cbInQue = 8 cbOutQue = 0
trace:file:ReadFile 0x4c 0x41222a70 8 0x41222530 (nil)
trace:file:FILE_TimeoutRead 0x4c 0x41222a70 8 0x41222530

trace:file:GetOverlappedResult waiting on 0x41222488
trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService 0x41222488 0x41222a70
trace:file:FILE_AsyncReadService read 8 more bytes 8/8 so far
trace:file:GetOverlappedResult wait on 0x41222488 returned 192
trace:file:GetOverlappedResult waiting on 0x41222488
trace:file:GetOverlappedResult wait on 0x41222488 returned 0

It then continues to do this several times, reading 8 or 16 bytes at a time from
the serial port.  There is then one more write/read exchange, then this:

trace:file:WriteFile 0x4c 0x40f01851 8 0x4122256c (nil)
trace:comm:ClearCommError handle 0x4c cbInQue = 0 cbOutQue = 0
trace:file:WriteFile 0x4c 0x40f01851 8 0x41222670 (nil)
trace:comm:ClearCommError handle 0x4c cbInQue = 0 cbOutQue = 0

This last line then repeats about 10,000 times before the program times out and
gives up on hearing anything.

I'm guessing that since it works slightly better with debugging enabled, that
there is a race condition at work here.  Maybe the last packet never actually
got written to the serial port, or a response came and Wine lost it.
