>Description:
minicom (from ports) was controlling through serial port another
process. minicom's original parent was _su run under sshd connection.
After ssh client on the other end was killed minicom stays in "ttywai"
condition. After _su got killed minicom still stays with PPID=1 (see
ps auxwj output below).
