Solution

Starting from QNX 6.4.0, modem control is added to io-char library.
So if applications blocks reading on serial device and if unplugs/plugs the cable, read will return immediately. This behavior is different with 6.3.x.
You can disable this feature with "stty +clocal < /dev/serx" in 6.4.x then read will block like 6.3.x.
