It might have something to do with open files, but in that case, the
behaviour is not consistent. I've just did a quick test with "cat
> foo.txt", and was able to delete the file while it was still open:

# ls -l /proc/21642/fd
...
l-wx------  1 adam 1000 64 Sep  1 15:39 1 -> /home/adam/foo.txt (deleted)
...

I'm using 2.6.8.1.
