SerialPortEventListener hangs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. initialize a port with socat -d -d PTY: PTY:
2. copy over the Event mask & SerialPortEventListener interface example from 
the projects' site
3. create and start a simple c program which prints data to the serial device 
periodically

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Since I modified the example to print out everything (converted to string) when 
the listener enters if(event.isRXCHAR()) I expected output from the running 
java program while the C program is also running (generating input on the port).
What happened instead is that the listener program printed out about 20-30 
events while the C program was still running.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 12.04
jSSC-0.9.0

Please provide any additional information below:
As I said above I modified the example to:

if (event.isRXCHAR()) {//If data is available
    try {
        byte buffer[] = serialPort.readBytes();
        if (buffer != null) {
            System.out.println(new String(buffer));
        }
    } catch (SerialPortException ex) {
        System.out.println(ex);
    }
}

the rest of the program is unchanged, except that I changed the port name to 
what socat opened (/dev/pts/6).

I also include the C program below, which I used to generate data and sent that 
to the port.

I could't reproduce this bug with this socat init string that you wrote: 

socat -d -d PTY: PTY:

I don't receive any event with this settings. But when I run socat with:

-d -d pty,raw,echo=0 pty,raw,echo=0

All works fine without any problems.
