Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |   Component:  asio          
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0                       |    Severity:  Problem

-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 In the file boost/asio/impl/serial_port_base.ipp, in the functions
 boost::asio::serial_port_base::baud_rate::store and
 boost::asio::serial_port_base::baud_rate::load, the baud rate constant
 "BOTHER" is not handled in either switch statement.  As far as I know,
 this constant, along with the termios fields c_ispeed and c_ospeed, are
 the only way to set and get an arbitrary baud rate (rather than one of the
 Posix baud rate constants like B9600) on Linux.  So if the user requests a
 baud rate not listed, such as 250000 baud, the store functions incorrectly
 rejects it; and if the currently set baud rate is not one of the ones
 listed, the load function incorrectly fails to return it.
