Would this cause GDB to hang when trying to connect to a target "monitor"
on a development board. GDB seems to support(from it's list of targets and
the source) my monitor(dBUG for ColdFire) but it hangs when I type "target
dbug com2" (the default port settings for COM2 are OK). I haven't stuck a
terminal or a protocol analyser on it yet.....
