    I've tried setting up read() to read only one byte from the serial port (my
input string is 9 bytes), and it still hangs.  It seems to me that something is
wrong with read().  I can't debug it here yet (can't get b20.1 to compile yet),
though.  Reading the keyboard buffer works fine every time.  I haven't tried
messing with VMIN or VTIME yet, but it seems that read() has an issue.  Can
anyone else confirm?  This behavior also happens when doing a straight read
from the serial port without using select() first.
     I stuck my source code below.
Thanks,
Dan
