I'm using the bcsio20 serial i/o library in a program, and i've
discovered that
when a com port is activated, the system clock stops.  gettime always
returns the same time, and the time reported by DOS does not advance
while the program is running.
This happens on two different systems with different CPUs and OSs.
Has enyone encountered this kind of thing before and know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
