    I have noticed that if I disconnect the serial port from my usb to serial adapter and leave the dongle
    in(Aten International Serial adapter, SiS 5571 usb controller), my machine will reset as soon as I
    [Attempt to] send data from the usb side. So maybe you are losing carrier signal sometime during the
    transfer. Another machine with a Via 83C572 USB controller does the same thing.

    Sis is running 4.7 Stable from Jan 2 2003.
    Via is running 4.6 Stable from Aug 23 2002.
