Wont work. The main problem here is that people keep
using an "alternate" dirs for lock files like
$_ttylocks = "/home/user/dosemu/lock"
which cheats dosemu to think it uses the ser port
exclusively, while it does not. For some reasons this
always keeps being suggested here and no surprise this
causes problems like the above one.
In general I used to simply put the leavedos() calls
in the appropriate places when such things are being
done by people, but in this particular case this won't
help so I am not sure what is the proper way of
preventing that to be done (removing the $_ttylocks
option entirely is not very good either).

Surely, but you can use lsof instead, it should find.
