What version are you using?

"in use by another program" is a message printed with there is a
"lockfile" for the device.  They location is sytem dependant, but
usually somehing like:
	/var/lock
	/var/uucp
	/var/lock/uucp
	etc.

Are there lock files in there?  They have the name like LCK..$DEVICE,
and contain the PID of the other process using the device.
