Have succesfully comunicated with my telescope on the serial port using Gtkterm 9600,N,8,1.
When pressing the start button the the whole of Stellarium frezes with the start button still depressed, it does not com back out again.

I can confirm this bug with Stellarium 0.10.5 using a Celestron CG5 mount. I can also control the mount from miniterm without difficulty but Stellarium completely hangs when I press "Start".
