Thanks Alexandre,

It solves this problem, but now I'm frequently getting this error:

    err:comm:GetCommState tcgetattr or ioctl error 'Invalid argument'

When I get it the program dies; when I don't it works fine.  I didn't
get this error before.

I'm still getting these errors too, although they don't interfere with
the program's operation:

    fixme:comm:SetupComm insize 1050 outsize 1050 unimplemented stub
    err:file:GetOverlappedResult lpOverlapped->hEvent was null

I'll dig into the code a bit and see if I can figure out what's going
on.
