[Xastir] Serial port issues with Xastir on OS X

[Matt Kassawara]

Ah!  Changing the device to /dev/cu.PL2303-######## made Xastir much 
happier.  I'm not sure exactly what goes wrong when I configure Xastir 
to use the other device, but the latter works fine with regular terminal 
applications.  As per the second part of my previous reply, I'm guessing 
Xastir still fails to read/write the serial port lock file, but 
apparently it doesn't affect operation.
