ramana and others: i think i found the problem. it appears to be
not in the uart or interrupt code, but rather in the way the c2c
compiler handles character strings. i should probably move to
another compiler but i don't know of any other PIC compiler that
runs on linux.......

i'll let you know once i nail the problem.

thanks again for all your help
