This seems to happen to me after the machine has been up for a longer period (19 days in this case, it also happened a while back. The machine had been up for a similar period). I don't seem to able to get out of it, short of rebooting. This is on a -stable kernel from a while back, rest is 2.1. Is there any other solution to remove the proces and free the serial port, other than rebooting and is this perhaps a hardware problem? (Whenever I reboot, the problem is immediately gone.)
