I have definitely observed this in Ubuntu. I haven't had a chance to  
get to the bottom of the problem, though.

What you want to do is run a C serial forwarder. You can of course  
then use Java tools that connect to a serial forwarder. For example,  
you can start a C serial forwarder then run net.tinyos.tools.MsgReader.

Try

./sf.exe 9002 /dev/ttyS6 115200

This tells the C serial forwarder to listen for connections on port  
9002 and to read packets from the serial port /dev/ttyS6 at speed  
115200.

You should then be able to to stuff like

java net.tinyos.tools.MsgReader -comm sf at localhost:9002 <some class>
