Wow, okay. So here's what I've figured out:
You have to specify the serial_port_base::flow_control option in order for
the DTR and RTS to be set. If you don't, the code never gets executed. This
whole time I thought that if I did not specify the flow_control option that
these things would be set to their defaults. However, this does not seem to
be the case. Rather dangerous!

Am I mistaken, or does this need to be addressed?
