i experienced problems while reading from multiple ports simultaneously.
up to 4 ports everything worked fine, when adding a fifth port reading is strange.

Data is only received after another port sent data as well.

Some quick code to test:

```
var sp = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P1.1", global.serialOptions);
sp.on("data", datalistener);

var sp2 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P2.2", global.serialOptions);
sp2.on("data", datalistener);

var sp3 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd2P1.1", global.serialOptions);
sp3.on("data", datalistener);

var sp4 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd2P2.2", global.serialOptions);
sp4.on("data", datalistener);

var sp5 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P3.3", global.serialOptions);
sp5.on("data", datalistener);
```
Did anyone got similiar results or got an idea how to fix this? thank you.
