First Hint: look at the corresponding files of the "cron" 
daemon;  disable them for a while (kill crond)!  

But this will most likely make you see that nothing changes
after doing this...

I assume that the serial subsystem itself is responsible for the
problem. 



Furthermore:
Perhaps one of the Kernel's companions works on the serials,
I don't really believe this but would be graceful on some hint
from anyone...

but up to now I say from my expierience:

even if no other process opens the port we have the problem!!!

I can live with it too, but this is not the reason I issued my
primary mail: We have found a failure in the OS and this problem
should be solved.


At least the workaround should be published !!!
