other character, in a stream of identical characters, when it was=20
supposed to be in 8N1 mode. I always thought that the stop bit was=20
supposed to be a definite bit, not something that alternates between=20
characters. Re-starting the app with *exactly* the same configs seems to=20
flush the problem. I expect this feature was included just to keep us on=20
our toes, bring the online community together to talk about it, etc.=20
Nice job!
