ACK! sorry. it's not the kernel code, it's raidstop. it seems to open
/dev/md0 an extra time for what reason i'm not sure. it even does it when
you're referring to other md devices. for example:

# strace raidstop /dev/md3
...
open("/dev/md0", O_RDONLY) = 4
ioctl(4, 0x800c0910, 0x804fd1c) = 0
open("/dev/md3", O_RDWR) = 5
fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(9, 3), ...}) = 0
ioctl(5, 0x932, 0) = 0
...

mdctl doesn't have this problem.

fwiw dpkg tells me i've got raidtools 0.90.20010914-9
