Hi all,
A quick summary about this:

The termio stuff seems to need some polising. There seems to
be a fcntl call to setup SIGIO delivery, but the signal is not handled
anywhere. Also, what might be the idea behind VMIN & VTIME
settings, I'm not sure that the current selection is the best one.
However, what is causing my problem is really that other threads
are not running when JNI code sits in a loop periodically calling
select(2). Partial fix seems to be to call Thread.yield inside
that loop, but even with that, the threads are scheduled in a manner
that is far away from perfect.
When I look at JDK sources how, for example, a read from socket
is implemented, it seems to be so that it calls JVM_Read which
in turn calls sysRead, which in turn calls a wrapper provided by
green threads package.
So, shouldn't the JNI stuff in comm package
(libSerial.so) be linked against green threads wrappers somehow
to make things really work ?
