Subject: [StreamDevice] parsing rapid inputs

Hello,

I have run into a problem lately. I have sort of a slow device - a TDS2024 scope. So when I run my IOC, I expect StreamDevice to initialize my PVs. So there are ~ 20 PVs I want to initialize. And every once in a while I get the following error message in epics shell:

2012/05/30 13:02:25.211 L2 TDS2024:probe_ch2: got "<0d>:CH2:PROBE 1" where ":CH2:PROBE " was expected

This <0d> character (or CR) is driving me mad. This is because it was supposed to be the terminator of the previous input (here is the whole string together with the one above):

2012/05/30 13:02:25.124 /dev/ttyUSB0 read 13
:CH1:PROBE 1\n
2012/05/30 13:02:25.211 L2 TDS2024:probe_ch2: got "<0d>:CH2:PROBE 1" where ":CH2:PROBE " was expected

As you can see, there is an \r missing. So my <0d> comes as a part of the input ":CH2:PROBE 1" - so I get "<0d>:CH2:PROBE 1"  instead which causes the error.
How can I fix this?
I have tried using the @mismatch handler, but it doesn't work within the @init handler.

And you will never know which PV will not initialize next.
As an comparison, my TPS2024 and TPS2024B scopes are fast enough to stumble upon this. No problem there.
