So, that points out a generic problem lurking behind this one.  The
Windows part of gdb should implement a "hardwire" serial port.  I guess
I'll put that on my todo list.

Btw, there is one other use of serial_fdopen which uses NULL protection
so, again, I'd say this is a trivial fix which should be checked in.
