Problems that occur when an active serial data source is connected to a 
PC serial port are not restricted to Windows.
If one booted a FreeBSD machine with an active GPS timing receiver 
connected to a serial port, the serial buffers would overflow.
This problem/feature appears to have since been fixed, at least for 
FreeBSD6.1.
