Oh, i forgot to mention that this bug affects serial lines which are shared 
with the GDB stub. Assume the remote needs a BREAK to start its gdb stub. If 
you send the '+' before the BREAK it will be delivered to the actual 
application running on the device (and of course listening on the serial 
port). [If there happens to be some echo service things will even go worse, 
because the echoed '+' will be interpreted by GDB as an ACK to the first sent 
packet.]
