Duh...

Poorly edited comments, first...
More or less random choice of a timeout, second...

1 bit @ 115,200 (being the baud rate I was using here, finally...) is  
9 µs
10 bits (1 start, 8 data, 1 stop) is 90 µs.
4 bytes is 360 µs.

So... If the thing's dead for the length of 4 data bytes, go away and  
try later.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
