ְAlso, you might cause other software that inherits the fds to
fail/complain/whatever.
I only mention this because just yesterday I noticed that when running
'lvs' on my
Debian wheeze laptop, I get:
File descriptor 3 (/usr/share/bash-completion/completions) leaked on
lvs invocation. Parent PID 11833: -su
File descriptor 4 (/usr/share/bash-completion/completions) leaked on
lvs invocation. Parent PID 11833: -su
File descriptor 5 (/usr/share/bash-completion/completions) leaked on
lvs invocation. Parent PID 11833: -su
and when I searched I found:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432986
