However, this is a special case. A file has been 'rm'ed, but there is a program that still has that file 'opened.' IIRC, a file in this state is recoverable since it actually still physically exists, and I also know the inode (from fstat(1) output). So, uhh... How do I actually go about doing such a thing?
