Bug with loopback device

I'm using a 2.4.0-test1-ac7 kernel with devfs automounted during boot.

Attaching and freeing a file to/from a loopback device leaves the file
locked:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=img count=1024
$ losetup /dev/loop/0 img
$ echo bla >img
$ losetup -d /dev/loop/0
$ echo bla >img
su: img: Text file busy

Is that some bug special with the 2.4.0 kernels or does it exist since
a long way back?

May the Source be with you.
