I've been trying to think of a good way to avoid this - and can't
really think of anything terribly useful.
One (ugly hack) that does come to mind though, is, if it is possible
to find all files open referencing and inode between (X & Y), then
when pid n exits, close any open descriptors associated with
inode (n<<16 & 0xFFFF0000).
It would also require revoking an mmap'd pages from /proc/n/mem - but
then again, it looks like mmap on /proc/n/mem shouldn't be allowed
anyhow.
Feasible?
