Hi,

The best help would be if we could write a simple test program that 
generated the problem. If we can see when it occurs, we can better 
understand why Dazuko is missing the CLOSE events (or why there are no CLOSE 
events).

With certain programs (such as Firefox), it is always the same files that 
are not seen as closed. I'm trying to find simple programs that cause the 
phenomenon because they will be easier to debug.

I don't think dup() helped clean up the problem, but dup2() probably did. 
With dup2() it is possible that CLOSE events occur (when you dup to a file 
descriptor that is already in use). There must be more of these type of 
system calls (that implicitely close files).
