Defect in pollserial read() method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Read characters from pollserial interface
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Every 64th character read is a random character that is not present in the data 
stream.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Beta 1

Please provide any additional information below.
The read() method simply doesn't roll back to the beginning of the buffer when 
it should.  It reads one character too far.

Line 119 in pollserial.c is:
    if (rxbuffer.tail == BUFFER_SIZE)
but I believe it should be:
    if (rxbuffer.tail == (BUFFER_SIZE-1))
