You need to use uugetty instead of getty.  Uugetty checks for a lock
file for the port in /usr/lib/uucp (or /usr/lib/locks, depending on
what version of UUCP you have), and will ignore things happening on
the port if the port is locked.  Cu and friends lock the port when
they allow you to use it, so everything works fine.

Uugetty is in /usr/lib/uucp.  Just replace "/etc/getty" with
"/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty" in your /etc/inittab file, "telinit q", and it
should be fixed.
