Using the original profilic drivers under windows all seems to be working well, however using this driver on OSX a lot of random data seems to be outputted at least to my screen (maybe also through the cable to the connected device) in such an extent that most of my terminal software crashes ('screen' and the 'arduino serial monitor').

I am using no flow-control whatsoever, just a 9600 baud connection using only the TX and RX lines.

Sometimes I can also see the data that should be flowing through the serial connection, but it quickly (in a matter of seconds) get flooded by random data.
