I'm sure you guys have picked up on this already, but there have been a
number of reports of file descriptor leakage on the -current mailing list.
In the past 24 hours, I've heard back from several of the people involved
with essentially the same message as below: the leaks occur when using
libkse, but not libc_r.  Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it's been
narrowed down to a single application, but I wonder if there's a
race/reference counting problem in process shutdown when running with
multiple KSE's...  Anyhow, just a heads up.

thanks,

I found out that the leak doesn't occur in my environment if I change
threading library back to libc_r.
