For example (borrowing from bug 413934) if the byte sequence f8 e2 82 ac c2 a3 0a is received then no further serial output is displayed. Steps to reproduce: Connect via serial to another Linux box and enter something like this at the shell: printf \xf8\xe2\x82\xac\xc2\xa3\nFoo bar baz; ls -lR / Notice that no more output is seen. Exiting from minicom and relaunching is required to see further serial input. Thanks for the test case, confirmed and fixed upstream, and included in new version 2.6.1.
