busy filesystems with nothing accessing them

Since I started running 2.3.99-pre5, I've been getting "/usr busy" and
"/var busy" at shutdown. I didn't used to have these problems with
2.3.99-pre3. I also obtained the same message having a partition mounted
read-write on /mnt which I modified. Nothing was running from the
partition (no executables on it) and nothing had /mnt or any subdirectory
thereof as a current directory nor were any of the files still open
according to fuser. Still I got "umount: /mnt: device is busy".

Any idea what could be causing this?
