Not at all. I had a particular and esoteric bug which, unfortunately for me, 
was a blocker. Fortunately the app I was working on didn't have much GUI 
interaction, and proved to be a quick write in C. The other work I've done 
with serial ports in rev has worked out just fine, and being able to cobble 
together a GUI frontend in rev allowed me to get my debugging done in close 
to no time at all.

I'd agree with Chris here that your problems are probably more on the driver 
end of things than on the rev engine side. Hanging the computer is a pretty 
serious symptom, especially if you've got a timeout callback implemented, so 
I think it's worth the bug report you filed.

But I'd also try unplugging the serial device when the system hangs to see 
if that brings it back to life before trying the power cycle.
