conflicting serial ports

Hi!

I am using linux 0.96c and having problems using ttys0 and ttys2 at
the same time.

If ttys0 is in use (for example for the mouse in X) then attempts to
open ttys2 fail - reporting that the device is busy.  The reverse also
happens - if ttys2 is in use then ttys0 reports as busy.

This is not dependent on what is trying to open the port or which one
has the first port open - X for the mouse, kermit, getty or just a 
write to that device.  It also is not dependent on the hardware - I 
have tried different i/o cards or even removing the card altogether.  
(kermit doesn't mind opening a port that isn't installed and writes 
to the other one still say the device is in use)

Is this a bug?  Am I doing something wrong?  Would it be fixed if I
upgraded to 0.97?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,  Jane.
