Good catch. The CRTSCTS flag is actually honoured a bit further down in
the set_termios(), but there's a bug in that it assumes newline to have
been initialised with the current (old) values. It should
unconditionally set the flow_control field rather than manipulate bits
(we currently use one bit of this field).

Care to send a v2 fixing this up as suggested above?

Thanks,
