This in turn breaks interoperability with mgetty, since mgetty relies on the presence of lockfiles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start minicom when mgetty is active 2. minicom will hang short time 3. kill it Actual Results: minicom hangs due to concurrent port access with mgetty Expected Results: no hanging minicom :-) I removed patch 3 (lockdev-patch) and things come back into operation.
