I deleted modem manager, then ran two instances of my program. Both opened the device with O_EXCL, and both opens succeeded. They proceeded to much with one another's state. I don't think modem manager is the problem here. The first problem is the way this device is setup. An exclusive resource is being treated as a shared resource. The second problem is open silently ignores flags. Epic fail. Thanks again for the help.
