If there is an earthing potential difference between the two machines
connected with a serial (RS232/null-modem) cable, the resulting
(mini-)surge will be interpreted as a break signal. You can prevent it
by using special cables or wiring a resistor between the ground
connections (iirc). Another workaround is to not have a break signal
trigger DDB (I think there's a sysctl for that).
