Just to make it clear...

I don't know how to track down if there is possibly some process that is
part of the cgroup even though lxc-ps doesn't show any.
Examine every single process and verify that it's part of the host or
another container until I find one I can't account for?
Since this happens to me all the time and on different hosts (albeit
using the same kernel versions and other software all configured the
same way) I can't believe this doesn't happen to many others and I'm
surprised I don't see more acknowledgment of the issue here. I see other
people reporting the problem, but I also see the responses simply say to
delete the files, which, we can't do.
So i wonder is my configuration and usage simply wrong? I'm using very
simple config files copied from the veth samples.
