So probably this line will have to be changed, to look through the
buffer for a specific string rather than just 'not empty'.  Maybe
something along the lines of...

if (!str_prefix("stop", d->incomm) || !str_infix("\rstop", d->incomm)
|| !str_infix("\nstop", d->incomm))

Well, that's probably not optimal.  But you see that the commands are
in that buffer, delimited by newline chars.  str_infix or strstr or
something may be good enough to look through it, or you may have to
step through the chars yourself, depending on exactly how you want it
to work.
