Thanks Alan,

But what has carrier dropping got to do with an TIOCSETD ioctl. For that 
matter, any operation other than an actual read or write to the port? 
This seems wrong. You've obviously looked at my code being executed. 
What can be done to prevent tty_hangup from being called after opening 
the port? And if this is really supposed to happen, why does it not 
always happen?

Even if the first thing I do after opening the port is to clear HUPCL 
and set CLOCAL, this still randomly happens the first time I open the 
port after booting.

Thanks again for your help
Mark
