- Yes, so I hear. Howver I was trying to make two points, neither of which
- has been answered by any responder:
-
- 1. When a process begins it should ONLY have 3 files open: stdin, stdout,
- and stderr. What happened to the rest of them?
-
- 2. How come when open or creat return a failure code THEY STILL CREATE
- A FILE ??????????????????? T H I S I S A B U G !!!!
- I've been told that even on the DDK kernel, which allows 60 files
- per process, that this still happens.
