Hard to say without seeing the code. But I probably wouldn't have time
to read it anyway.

How about running the serial tests that come with eCos? There's a
testing infrastructure that does what you try to do, and more. See the
io/serial/current/tests/README file - which is a bit out of date, but
should guide you in the right direction.
