>Description:
current FreeBSD patch for rxtx causes duplication of comm devices /dev/ttyD* in the list of available devices, and incorrectly excludes /dev/ttyU* devices.  The exsting patch file patch-RXTXCommDriver.java apparently has a typographical error.  The attached 'diff' output indicates the correction to the patch file.
>How-To-Repeat:
install comms/rxtx, use a java application (such as devel/arduino) to enumerate available comm ports using the rxtx library, and note the following:
a) absence of /dev/ttyU* com ports
b) doubling of /dev/ttyD* com ports

on a related note, attempting to select one of the 'doubled' ports in devel/arduino causes both of the duplicate entries to be 'checked' in the menu, and then causes a lock violation when you attempt to do I/O.

>Fix:
see attached 'diff' file indicating how the patch file needs to be modified
