Ok, I've made a little script and send several hundred times random 
strings with netcat to the cwdaemon and not any string failed.
Maybe its a kernel problem, Suse kernel have several patches related to 
a better scheduling and task switching (like in kernel 2.6).  
I stop the debugging and will work on the cwlib for ptt support, like 
Joop has proposed. 
If I understand Joop right, there should be a function for the cwlib 
which ask the state of the footswitch and a callback function to handle 
the ptt switching. In this case the cwlib must periodically call the 
state function for the footswitch. Same is true for paddle support in 
the next step. To realize this functionality the cwdaemon must alway's 
calling the cwlib in a loop. 

-------------- part of cwdaemon----------------
while (1)
        {
                udelay (500);   /*prevent 100% CPU */
// ------------>> here periodically action for PTT via cwlib
//                instead of udelay (udelay shorter)
                if (recv_code ())
                        playmorsestring (morsetext);

I think thats the best place to do it. What do you think?
