Thanks, that helped.
For the record, the problem was actually due to me sending data immediately
after SrmOpen, and then changing the flags in a different routine later.
(The program is used to try and decode a serial stream.)
It looks like a call to SrmControl srmCtlSetFlags should be made before any
data is sent through the port. If the control values need to change the port
must be closed and re-opened.
