I changed my mind; it does not help because one can always dup2 that file descriptor later to a lower fd and cause trouble. It is also confusing to the user. So it is really not a worthwhile hack to put. Perhaps a better hack is to have a filemon_disestablish hook at process exit that does the preliminary cleanup. christos
