Now everything is fine:
chu at chu:~ 10:40:19 $ ps ax | grep batt
96529  ??  S      0:03,13 /usr/X11R6/libexec/battstat-applet-2 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_BattstatApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=39
chu at chu:~ 10:41:04 $ lsof -p 96529 > batt.lsof
chu at chu:~ 10:41:18 $ lsof -p 96529 | diff -u batt.lsof -
chu at chu:~ 10:41:27 $ lsof -p 96529 | diff -u batt.lsof -
chu at chu:~ 10:45:05 $

So, no change of lsof output during 5 min.

Thank you!
