This message is emitted when comport tries to close a port and restore 
its previous values. Is this the actual text? Why is it printing "port 
3" and not "COM3"?

It has no effect on the new port, it was only trying to restore the old

I recently updated comport in cvs. I don't know if that's the version 
you're using. The new version has four outlets (for data, port number, 
DSR state and CTS state).
