The question is very simple. Is it possible to open the same character
pseudo device, for example /dev/foo0, simultaneously from other programs, and 
to work with this instances independently? 

I'm asked as the developer of a driver with such requirements, so please don't 
complain about such technique.

I read some discursion about this in the mailing list
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=854845+857264+/usr/local/www/db/text/1997/freebsd-hackers/19970727.freebsd-hackers .

But it's old one (dated by begin of '97).
