... and that is the natural thing to garbage collect, no? After all, this approach allows lock-file subsystem to keep fds open even when they do not absolutely have to, so they are the best candidates to be shot down first when things gets tight. A good thing is that you have a list of all them already for use by the atexit handler ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
