Might I suggest not doing a blocking read. Then when you need to close the port, set a flag that tells the thread it needs to end. Then when the thread has terminated, close the port.

I'm perplexed. The nature of reading from a serial device is that the data is intermittent, and in single bytes. If I did a non-blocking read, I'd have to poll, would I not? And get nothing back from virtually all the calls? Wait. Should I be using select()?
