FileSystemUtils needs to call Process.destroy() on exec'd processes
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IO-93
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-93
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 1.2
         Environment: Java 1.5_06 VM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 OS
            Reporter: Jon Neely


Calling the FileSystemUtils.getFreeSpace() method multiple times (~3000) will 
generate an IOException with the following text: "Too many open files". 
Documentation from Sun says this problem is due to not destroying the 
java.lang.Process object returned from the System.exec() call.

Some sample code I wrote confirms that calling destroy prevents this error from 
occurring.
