If the program sending out the characters isn't putting the tty into
raw mode then its possible that certain characters (e.g. tabs, NL's,
EOT's) may be modified by the tty driver. This could cause the CRC's
to be wrong. I'd check the program and/or do an 'stty >/dev/ttyc0'
as root to make sure that the right modes are set.
