No, that never was printed to the serial port.  After executing the strace
command, it hung and kept printing out:

	1292  ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_CONTINUE or TCSETSF, {B115200 opost isig icanon
	echo ...}) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
	1292  --- SIGTTOU (Stopped (tty output)) @ 0 (0) ---
	1292  --- SIGTTOU (Stopped (tty output)) @ 0 (0) ---

to the strace.out file.  I had to pull the power from the board and
restart the board in order since Ctrl-C or anything wouldn't work.
