Yep, that's too sad.  One would think there was a -debug switch or something,
but no.  I added some printf's to the code and saw that the serial port
thread was not running.  Also, ktrace output shows that gnokii never even
tries calling open(2) on the tty port.  Then, the first thread gets tired of
waiting for a flag set by the serial thread, prints the error message and
quits.  I have no idea why the threads do not work.

I guess Nokia is big enough so they don't need to please their customers.
Or to make good products.  Reminds me of some large company in the US..
