I see this issue (including the same error in the truss log) on 15.0-RELEASE-p4
as well.
It seems to happen when I've killed 'cu' on the client machine and try to
connect again to the serial console.
In my /etc/ttys:
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100 onifconsole secure
Seen in dmesg:
uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
uart0: console (115200,n,8,1)
This repeats in /var/log/messages after the error starts occurring:
...
