Why use a thread?
Have you tried to use?

  gdk_input_add( fd, GDK_INPUT_READ, GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(file_function),
                 &cmdinfo );

When there is data on the fd "file_function" will be called. This could
work if you don't get to much data.

What kind of data comes over the port? Lots or little?
