Bug Description

When attempting to get the DSR-status of the serial port using pySerial, it throws an exception. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (amd64) with all the latest updates.

The following code triggers it (executed from IDLE):
>>> import serial
>>> modem = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyUSB0")
>>> modem.getDSR()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    modem.getDSR()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 399, in getDSR
    s = fcntl.ioctl(self.fd, TIOCMGET, TIOCM_zero_str)
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
