I've run into a similar issue (Xastir locks up upon attempting to access the serial port) that I was able to resolve by enabling clocal with stty (disabling the need for CD to be present to open the port) on the affected serial port. In your case, "stty -F /dev/ttyS5 clocal".
You might give that a try, and if it doesn't work, perhaps the output of "stty -F /dev/ttyS5" may give some clues.
