OK, a bit better.
with 2.6.24.4-PPS-quater + patch in linuxPPS, when I run

    ./ttyctrl -X -s 17 /dev/ttyS0

It runs, creates /dev/pps1, BUT NEVER COMPLETES.  The job is still sitting 
there
and is IMPOSSIBLE to kill.

When I run your ppstest, I see

[root at deneb pps]# ./ppstest /dev/pps1
trying PPS source "/dev/pps1"
found PPS source "/dev/pps1"
ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data...
time_pps_fetch() error -1 (Connection timed out)
time_pps_fetch() error -1 (Connection timed out)

and when I run my slightly modified version, I see

[root at deneb Testing]# ./rodolfo6 /dev/pps1
fd2 = 3
getcap says 0x1133
set mode to 0xbfc5b9db
getparam is 0x1133
Enter loop

getparam is 0x1133
getparam assert is 0  0000675
getparam clear  is 0  0000000
A: 1213174047.015311729 #44     C: 1213174047.213825757 #44

and it is killable.

Checking /sys/class/pps/pps1 I see

[root at deneb pps1]# more assert ; more clear
1213174047.015311729#44
1213174047.213825757#44

So it seems to have counted to 44 and then hung...

Hope that gives you some Ideas on what needs fixing (or what Im doing wrong)
