Sorry, I misunderstood, I had thought you were already transmitting.  That 
is correct behaviour as well.  It's meant to keep you from going into an 
infinite transmission interrupt loop if you have nothing to transmit.  You 
have to 'prime the pump' by placing at least one byte in the transmit FIFO 
to start.  If you ever run out of bytes to transmit you have to do it again.
