I noticed these earlier on 2.0.31 (with redhat 5.0):

Warning: bad magic number for tty struct (04:42) in release_dev
rs_close: bad serial port count; tty->count is 1, info->count is 3
Warning: bad magic number for tty struct (04:42) in release_dev
Warning: bad magic number for tty struct (04:42) in release_dev
rs_close: bad serial port count; tty->count is 1, info->count is 2

at the time, I was using setserial (or trying to :-) whilst waiting
for minicom to exit (it'd cleared the screen but just hadn't given
me the prompt back).

are these serious or to be expected when trying to do things like that ?
