It's possible that you are getting a blank line from the serial port and so the
script falls over.

If you can use hyperterminal to output the raw data and take a look to see if
occasional blank lines are output between the <msg></msg> XML.

It was the speed of the serial connection was too quick. Reduced the speed and 
vwola!
Works well.

Hi,
I ran into the same issue (I think). I have four sensors attached to a cc128 
(in addition to the main sensor). I needed to increase the timeout to make it 
work. I do not know how much is actually needed, but I just set it to 200 to 
get it out of the way.

best regards,
Øyvin Eikeland
