There is an updated SoftwareSerial included in the arduino library. Here's a cut-down version of some code that works for me; I can't seem to find the tutorial that I borrowed it from.

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

#define rxPin 2
#define txPin 3
SoftwareSerial mySerial =  SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);


void setup() 
{ 
  Serial.begin(9600);  // start hardware serial 

// set up SoftwareSerial
  pinMode(rxPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(txPin, OUTPUT);
  mySerial.begin(9600);

// print via SoftwareSerial
  mySerial.print("software serial startup\n");
} 

void loop()
{
}

See if using the SoftwareSerial library works any better.
