Indeed,  you  can  unlink  open  files on Unix; and that's not too
strange,  as unlinking a file does not mean destroying it. It just
isn't referenced by the directory structure anymore.

The  space  on  disk  is actually feed only when there are no more
references to it and no processes have an handle to it.

Regards,
   Gabriele.
