Well, I might have even written that code :((. It simply means that the
write function which tries to "write" to the serial port has failed.
Without any other diagnostics, I would say that the peromissions of your
serila port have changed (ls -al /dev/ttyS0[1] should have rw-rw-rw
permissions) Perhaps some job regularly checks the permissions of your
serial ports and changes them to rw-rw---- . Inthis case add yourself as
to the group that has group-ownership of /dev/ttyS0[1] (uucp ?)
