Anders,
Just how is you know so much!!!
I've been working with UNIX for 20 years and linux for 7 or 8, and I'm
still amazed at all the little trivia things you know.

All files opened are hard linked from /proc/<pid>/fd/ and can be accessed through that link (permissions permitting, naturally). The general rule is that an inode (and the data it points to) is marked as available when the last hard link goes away, and that hard link in /proc is what keeps deleted files hanging around. It's a good thing to know if you accidentally delete a file and you still have it open in a program. Just cp that hard link and you've "undeleted" it
