Sigh...  One more time: there are two distinct classes of objects - opened
files and opened descriptors.  That's the point - by the time of munmap()
there is no file descriptor at all.  It's been gone for a month.

Descriptor getting closed != file getting closed.  If you are talking about
the last reference to opened file - OK.  But there won't necessary be
any descriptors refering to it.
