It was indeed a linux_compat specific resource cleanup issue.
I managed to create a simple linux program that had the same problem. From
there on it was easy...
The problem was created by Alfred's locking commit of Jan 13.
(No hard feelings, it helped me to understand the code alot better! ;) )
Can someone please commit the attached (trivial) patch?
Mark
ps. there might be more pieces of code like this maybe.
