Subject: [ECOS] RedBoot gets() problems

I'm having problems with RedBoot due to the way the main loop
and gets() interact.  

If at some point a spurious byte comes in on one of the diag
ports, RedBoot effectively "locks up" until it sees an
end-of-line on that port: it ignores network packets, it
ignores commands on the other diag port.

I think I'm going to have to re-design the input scheme so that
Redboot still responds to the network and to all ports while
in the "middle" of reading an input line.
