Issue 5477. The calculation for number of UART bytes returned under some circumstances could result in a negative number. Since it was unsigned, this meant that a large value would be used and memory would get stepped on. The real issue seems to be that the SDK does not always update the handle.rxData field, but rather than trying to fix the SDK, code was added to UART.c to correct for the situation.
