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.
