encode throws UnicodeDecodeError ecxeption in serial_handler

[parvathib]

Hi,
I'm using pexpect-serial-terminal package to automate the testing of my serial device. Occasionally, I get decode errors while reading the data from the serial port and the child process terminates after throwing the UnicodeDecodeError in serial_handler(line 25). Can't we catch or ignore decode errors?

Thanks,
Parvathi.
