Node exit after new SerialPort()

[nosteve]

A bit stumped, node script is causing exit without error on Windows, even when trying to capture unhandled exceptions using the "process.on" trick. Narrowed this behavior down to when I create a new SerialPort object.

System is Windows 7 Pro x64, using latest Node 0.8.3. Built libs using VS Express 2010.

Script works on Mac using same libraries without issue. Removing the new SerialPort() line resolves the issue, script works fine otherwise.

Here is sample program to repro and debug info. I'm not sure where else to look - maybe it's a bad compile, or some kind of 64-bit issue? It seems like the OS might be killing it but I don't see anything in Event Viewer (maybe I need to turn on more options in there?) Any troubleshooting help appreciated.

repro:

var connect = require('connect');
var SerialPort = require('serialport').SerialPort;
var argv = process.argv;

process.on('uncaughtException', function(err) {
console.log(err);
});

var serialPort = new SerialPort();

connect.createServer(
connect.static(__dirname)
).listen(argv[2] || 8082);

debug:
