Original description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Compile any sketch (.ino). I tested with Blink example.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The compilation ends with error.

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system? Which Arduino board are you using?

OS: Debian GNU/Linux unstable.

Board: Mega2560

Please provide any additional information below.

Fixed, it will be available on next releases (1.0.5 and 1.5.3)

Have just accessed Arduino software that was compiled & loaded using IDE 1.6.7 and has run successfully on a Mega 2560 for the last two years. I have just run the verification using the latest IDE 1.8.3 and get an error associated with "poisoned SIG_USART0_RECV" occurring in SerialPort.cpp.

I have read the available posts I can find, but cannot understand what I should do to solve this problem.

As the posts above suggest that the problem was solved in 2013 in avr-lib I am puzzled. I am running the Arduino IDE on OSX.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi @rgars ,
between 1.6.7 and 1.8.3 we updated the avr toolchain, so it's possible that the problem reappeared somehow. Could you post the problematic sketch so we can try reproducing it? Thanks!

[rgars]

Thanks for the response.

I have received a lot of help to overcome the issue. Please see:-
greiman/SerialPort#1

The sketch is posted in Comment No 5 in SerialPort/issues/1.

Let me know if further information is required.
