Bug in freeing File Descriptors

Compile and run the following test. The file descriptor is flushed from
the queue but never closed. The result is LiS does not unload.
 
The sad part about this is I submitted a fix for this, 2 years ago. It
was lobbied to take it out and no one decided to fix it.
 
 
The command line to compile this is cc -o test -l LiS test.c 
Assuming of cause the program is cut and pasted into test.c.
 
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stropts.h>
 
main()
{
    int a[2];
    int b[2];
 
    pipe(a);
    pipe(b);
 
    ioctl(a[0], I_SENDFD, b[0]);
    close(b[0]);
    close(a[1]);
}
