Let me clarify :)

The program leaks with the commit 7766755a2f249e7 and does not leak 
without this commit.
This is the expected behaviour and this simple program spots the problem.

I tried to modify the program and I moved the lstat to the process 2 in 
the child namespace. Conforming your analysis, I was expecting to see a 
leak too, but this one didn't occur. I was wondering why, maybe there is 
something I didn't understood in the analysis.
