I do not see the original behavoir but I do see a slow leak
in skype. Every time a call is made (for example to the
skype testing service) it leaks 10 to 15 descriptors to
/dev/mixer0 + some more. About 75% opens are to /dev/mixer0.
Still think this is an emulation problem not skype's.
firefox etc. also seem to keep far too many files open. For
example firefox has 500+ open descriptors) with 4 tabbed
windows open. But in my limited testing can't tell if there
is a leak.
I am running linux_base-fc-4_7 on a one month old
freebsd-current.
