There is no such thing as an "break error" - only people that weren't around
when the break condition was still widely in use. Yet there is some truth in
it: often a break condition is an error when it happens without the protocol
specifying or using it. Also, sometimes you would strap an resistor across
the RX pin and GND to induce an break to indicate that the cable is not
plugged in.

If I understand right, you explain a break condition. But what is a "break
error"?
