Thanks for your replies Ara.
I tried to find it in the pickaxe (second edition), Chapter 11, but I 
couldn't find anything mentioned about this particular behavior under 
Windows.
Also I tried to follow the discussion on google groups but didn't find a 
solution described.

So now I'm stuck. Here's what I really want to do, maybe someone can 
show me a solution to this?
I'd like to write a little terminal application.

1. Open a serial port
2. Create a sender task that waits for user input on stdin and sends the 
data out the serial port.
3. Create a receiver task that waits for data coming from the serial 
port and output it on the screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Armin
