The "sleep" is not a  good  solution of course  :-) The  problem is that  I
don't know what  happen and I  don't know why  is this just /dev/ttyp8 that
block.

The only  way I've found to  avoid the problem is  to "rm /dev/ttyp8". That
way, p8 is unavailable and programs skip it...

Now the state is

  ttyp8  0   0   0 1296 256     108 OZ   de1580 12923 term
