Subject:	Multiple fopens fails with permission denied

I've installed B20.1 (full.exe) on a NT4.0 SP6 machine. When I try
running the below included program I get:

bash-2.02$ ./a.exe
Couldn't open '/dev/com1' for input
open: Permission denied

It doesn't matter in which order I make the calls - fopen() always fail
on the second fopen. Any ideas?

int main()
{
   FILE *fdin;
   FILE *fdout;
   char* device = "/dev/com1";

   if ((fdout = fopen(device, "wb")) == NULL) {
      printf("Couldn't open '%s' for output\n", device);
      perror("open");
      exit(1);
   }
   if ((fdin = fopen(device, "rb")) == NULL) {
      printf("Couldn't open '%s' for input\n", device);
      perror("open");
      exit(1);
   }
}
