Versions 2.x crashes with Windows 7 x64

[ancasicolica]

Running my tool with serialport 1.7.4 with node 0.12.7 worked well. After upgrading node-serialport to 2.x, the application became instable, crashing very often (terminates without any notice, very randomly). After reverting to 1.7.4 everything was fine again. Same effect when running serialport with node 4 (only serialport 2.x).

No issues on Mac OS, only Windows is affected. As 1.7.4 is not node 4 compliant, this is a big issue for me.

Probably one of these:

• State of nodejs 4.0 support - ie NOT supported until this closed #578 (comment)
  with this test

Here is what I see when attaching the VS2015 debugger to the process (even it is not a lot):

Hello,

I have similar kind of issue. Trying to figure out from past 2 days if this is serialport or signalr issue but looks like serialport as my node program stops without any error or warning message while reading or writing to serialport. I have node.js v4.1.2 upgraded from 0.12 and serial port i tried 2.x and also this one npm install "git://github.com/ghostoy/node-serialport.git#nan1to2" Both have similar issues i am able to write and read to serialport but suddenly it stops program. My program was working from past 6 months but not anymore after this upgrades.
