Thanks for the report. I could reproduce this with a USB converter and fixed by a one millisecond delay when cancelling the timed-out pn53x listen command. Would be nice if you could verify with your setup (the tty:AMA0 typically runs at 115.2 kbps compared to tty:USB at 922.6 kbps). The fix appeared on trunk revision 267, just grab latest.

Can you help with this problem?
