[issue10826] pass_fds sometimes fails

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

'D' denotes a door file. There are several of them in the system; the following ones (from /var/run) match the time stamp:

Dr--r--r--   1 daemon   daemon         0 Mar 27  2010 kcfd_door
Dr--r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 27  2010 name_service_door
Dr--r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 27  2010 picld_door
Drw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 27  2010 syslog_door

It's common for library routines to open a door and keep it open for the entire process lifetime.

If this was somehow reproducible, I could try to find out what specific door gets opened.
