I've done some more testing. It appears that when linked with lc_r,
VTIME is completely ignored.

As explained in termios(4), when VMIN>0, the read call will wait
indefinitely for the first byte and then use VTIME as an interbyte
timer. When using lc_r however, it'll return immediately after the
first couple bytes read, even if that's less than VMIN.

The case where VTIME==0 works as it should both with lc and lc_r.

I dont have access to a box with -current, so I can't say if the same
applies to it.

I hope somebody understands this better or could at least give me a
few pointers as to where to look in the source code.

Thanks, tijl
