This is a known bug of the SVAsync library.

Bugfixes have been discussed with Sam Vincent who promised to upload a
patched version
of the library. Well, several months have passed since...

Thanks to Charles Sandmann for the help with the DPMI problem.

If you need a fixed SVAsync Library get it by anonymous FTP from

ftp://cantor.nt.tuwien.ac.at/tony/djgpp/svas010b.zip

This library also provides an additional function to read *ALL* characters
(including 0x00) from a serial port.
(The original function returned 0x00 when the buffer was empty.)
