 The original behaviour was believed to have been fixed in
 src/sys/compat/linux/linux_stats.c version 1.83
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-May/002122.html
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2006-May/002127.html
 
 After the request for feedback (after the above messages), the following
 response was sent but seemingly never made it to PR trail
 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-September/020014.html
 
 "I do not see the original behavoir but I do see a slow leak
 in skype.  Every time a call is made (for example to the
 skype testing service) it leaks 10 to 15 descriptors to
 /dev/mixer0 + some more.  About 75% opens are to /dev/mixer0.
 Still think this is an emulation problem not skype's.
 
 firefox etc. also seem to keep far too many files open.  For
 example firefox has 500+ open descriptors) with 4 tabbed
 windows open.  But in my limited testing can't tell if there
 is a leak.
 
 I am running linux_base-fc-4_7 on a one month old
 freebsd-current."
