Subject:	patch for serial version of tcsendbreak

There is a serious problem in the serial version of tcsendbreak. The
argument to usleep is in microseconds but the tcsendbreak code is
setting "sleeptime" in milliseconds.  The result is that the break
signal is way too short and is not even recognized, at least by our
board.  This problem exists in everything from b20.1 to 1.1.4.  The
following patch to winsup/fhandler_serial.cc is for the b20.1 version,
so the line numbers may be a bit off for 1.1.4.  I hope you can
incorporate this fix soon.  Thanks.
