Hm [sounds of digging in archives] ... it looks like the fix to emit
"\r" rather than an actual 0x0d byte was applied between 7.2 and 7.2.1.
If that's an actual 7.2 installation, I can offer you many excellent
reasons why you should update it to 7.2.4 forthwith ...

Yes, there's still the question of why it lost sync after the first
error.  Please investigate when you get a chance.
