This is because they're not putting their lockfiles in the same
directory. Look at the compilation options for both of them and make
sure that they're each using, e.g., "/var/lock/LCK..ttyS0" for the
lockfile, and that they write their pid in the file in ASCII format
(not binary). (This is from the Linux FSSTND.)
Kermit, Minicom, pppd, any modem software you write, mgetty, etc.,
must agree on all of the above, and then it works like a dream.
The serial HOWTO and the mgetty docs cover this and a lot more, btw.
