Netcgi buffers on /tmp

Hello,

I'm seeing something strange. Even though I configure the Nethttpd_plex
service with Nethttpd_services.std_activation `Std_activation_unbuffered,
I'm seeing an enormous number (more than 2.700.000 in one instance) of
netcgiXXX temporary files with HTTP requests on /tmp. These files persist
even after correctly shutting down the server with netplex-admin. This
currently makes FreeBSD complain about a full /tmp filesystem.

I'd like to know if this is to be expected or not. Wouldn't it be possible
to use the "tempfd" trick on Posix? Namely, the following:

let tempfd () =
let name = Filename.temp_file Sys.executable_name "TMP" in
try
let fd = Unix.openfile name [Unix.O_RDWR; Unix.O_CREAT] 0o600 in
Unix.unlink name;
fd
with e -> Unix.unlink name; raise e

so that the inode table doesn't get full?

Thank you,
Matías.
