Wait 30 seconds and see if it exits by itself.  I bet you have hardware
RTS/CTS handshaking enabled on the serial port, but without anything
connected.

When a port is closed, we wait up to 30 seconds (or a user specified time
period) for any characters in the transmit queue to be sent.  If CTS is
inactive and we're using RTS/CTS handshaking, we can't send any characters,
so we'll wait the full timeout.
