Serial connections are symmetrical, so the same behavior should pertain 
to both ends of the connection, right?

Actually it signals that a read will return immediately, as opposed to 
blocking.  So it isn't sudden strange behavior.

Dummy-hcd is flexible; you can get any number of endpoints you want (up
to the maximum), with various restrictions on their use, just by 
editing the ep_name[] array near the start of the source file.  For 
example, you could add ep-g, ep-h, ..., ep-z and remove all the 
numbered endpoints; that would give you 26 configurable endpoints.  I 
trust that would be enough.  :-)
