I have similar problems with FTDI, but every time that I think I've
found one, I discover that I have a second 'tip' running that's eating
some characters :-( Are you sure that this isn't happening? I know
it is a "rookie" mistake, but I recently wasted a day on it, and I'm
no rookie :-).
Anyway, I've also seen other weird behavior with my ftdi dongle, but
I've never been able to reproduce it well enough to try to fix the
problem...
