I remember that behaviour you describe from the uml-kernel that was 
delivered on SuSE 9.2's Distribution media, um-host-kernel-2.6.8-24.* 

But my 2.6.9-bb4 um-kernel does not show that problem, I think because 
bb4 has that fix-kill patch inside.

Yes, I am very sure: ps and lsof show no more uml processes, lsof 
shows no processes using the /tmp any more, but still I cannot umount 
it. (As I described in my original posting, see:
