Not sure what you guys are trying out, but I am able to use sysrq
just fine in minicom (using only Thomas' original patch) - you need
to send a break sequence, and the way to do this in minicom is to
do Ctrl-A followed by F.

Works for me, without the "resetting lsr_break_flag to 0" part.

@Govind,

What are the issues you see in getting sysrq key break sequence
without your change? And how is your change fixing this?
