Yes, and you know what? Unix sucks.
Just because something is the way Unix is doing it it doesn't mean
it's right. Also, Solaris has had frevoke() for some time, and we'll
hopefully get it on Linux soon, too. And when we have that, we can
kick any process from any fd at any time. Awesome! A Unix lover's
nightmare... Muahahaha!
