-Buffered I/O Issues
--------------------
-The simulated serial driver has some odd behavior. It will stall for a long time
-on reads when the C stdio buffers are being refilled. This only effects the behavior
-of things like fgetc(). Workaround: Set CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE=0, suppressing
-all C buffered I/O.

Networking Issues
-----------------
I never did get networking to work on the sim target. It tries to use the tap device
