i turned debug on and i could not see any calls to ucomread,
the program calls select(...) - but select does not initiate anything,
it justs waits to be woken when something is received (in the case of reading),
now, unless im wrong - which well could be :-), the read in this case must be
started - usb is a master/slave protocol, and this is not happening.

	if(select(fdset,...)) {
		if(FD_ISSET(ifd, fdset))
			read(ifd, ...
		...
	}
