Any messages in your logs?  It may be that the (m)getty you were running was 
err'ing out while trying to converse with your device, and issuing the famous " 
... respawning too fast; sleeping for 5 minutes" message.  If your program then 
runs in those 5 minutes, it may work.  Not sure why a pthread would change 
anything though; maybe it triggers a close & re-open of the port.
