IOW, the port opened OK, but when you tried to open it a second time
without closing it first, _that's_ when the .open() call failed.
That's a restriction built in to Win32. You can't open a serial port
that's already open. [Linux doesn't have that restriction.]
Why do you need to open it a second time?
