Removal of device from port keeps generating serial events constantly

[sbsatter]

Why is it that when a device (e.g. a scanner) is removed, serial events keep generating.
In such circumstance,
event.getSerialPort().bytesAvailable() = -1.

Is this a bug? Will it cause unprecedented exceptions/errors?

1. What OS are you using?
2. What events are you listening for?
3. What event is being generated (check event.getEventType())?
4. What timeouts have you set up on the port?

1. Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon (also generated on Windows)
2. LISTENING_EVENT_DATA_AVAILABLE
3. I can't seem to remember the event type since I haven't worked on it for a long while.
4. serialPort.setComPortTimeouts(SerialPort.TIMEOUT_READ_BLOCKING, 10000, 0);
