minicom bug and linux kernel 2.6.25.4

[Man-wai Chang]

You might know that kernel 2.6.25.x has
introduced some change to the serial port
logic.

I downloaded source codes of minicom-2.3,
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/minicom,
compiled it, and checkinstall it.

It still cannot talk to /dev/ttyS0, while
`cu -l /dev/ttyS0 dir` can.

So I believe minicom needs to be fixed and
use the way of cu to deal with serial ports.
