Known problem with old Blackberry software?

Hello,
I just wasted some days to solve an error in my code but the solution was a little bit different:
The Propeller started connected to the PC via serial for programming. After ~13 seconds he restarted. First I thought it must be som e kind of buffer overflow of stack overflow but it wasn't!
I had installed an old Blackberry Software (I think it was 3.1 or so...). This software had any way to watch the serial port (somtimes the propeller tool said that he was unable to open the port...) and on incomming data he responsed with some operations on the DTR pin, so the prop restarted!
Is this problem known? and is there any possible solution without uninstalling this software because I need it!
Edit: Mhh I think the BB software sends an periodic signal on DTR in order to ask if there is an BB connected.
