I have run into some snags with rs232.  When the system boots it works fine.
I can type "cat -u </dev/tty1" and get normal results.  But after I run my
terminal program (which I'm using now)  it can get very messed up and won't
let me read from /dev/tty1 (writes always work fine).  I think that it had
to do with not closing /dev/tty1 after the program terminated.

Is there an ioctl (or something) that will reset this?
