Yes, of course. But they still should not keep lying around when going 
to single user and should be visible in fstat / lsof, if everything were 
OK and this were just an application problem.

I'm currently checking if I can find something in older sources of 
/dev/null - although I would appreciate help in diggin' around here, I'm 
just an admin, not a programmer. And by far no kernel hacker.
