Serial port disconnect throws a non-catchable fatal error

[sylvinus]

... or I don't know how to catch it.

How to reproduce : plug an arduino in at /dev/ttyACM1 , begin reading data, disconnect the arduino.

I get :

Error: ENODEV, No such device
at
var bytes_read = serialport_native.read(file_id,buffer);

also, having a "close" event, I tried to do it like this but didn't quite work :

var readWatcher = new IOWatcher();
this.empty_reads = 0;

var fd = this.fd;
readWatcher.callback = (function (file_id, me) {
  return function () {
    var buffer = new Buffer(255);

    try {
      var bytes_read = serialport_native.read(file_id, buffer);
    } catch (e) {

      me.emit('close', file_id);
      readWatcher.stop();
      serialport_native.close(fd);
      return;
    }

    me.emit('data', buffer.slice(0, bytes_read));
  }
})(this.fd, this);
readWatcher.set(this.fd, true, false);
readWatcher.start();

Can you verify that it still occurs now with 0.2.1 version? I do not have an arduino board but in my tests it handles this cleanly now.

thanks for the reactivity on all the issues :) I'll test that asap.
