Seems I remember a case on linux-serial or -newbie recently where read
would hang waiting for DCD to come up even though CLOCAL was set.  He
solved it by strapping his carrier-detect line, but I think O_NONBLOCK
or O_NDELEAY in the fd will also work (just feed it to open(), FI).

What, BTW are s.ascii() and s.length() ?
