-1 is a valid return from ReadByte according to MSDN, and the InvalidOperation
exception should be thrown if the port is not open.  That is what "CheckOpen"
does, so I do not believe that this is a bug.

Would you mind testing on Windows what happens on ReadLine when the same cable
gets disconnected?

I do not feel comfortable adding a special case for zero, I believe that the
right fix is for SerialStream to either throw an exception (as it does if
poll_serial fails to get data or if the timeout is reached).
