I've just run into something I can't explain.  Likely it's not a
bug, but puzzling none the less.

   I normally run KDE, and then thunderbird, firefox and chrome
as well as a bunch of other stuff.  Fine, mostly.

   I frequently mount a 32G usb stick to stuff my 'reagents' software
on, for keeping Windows sheep (mostly) safe.  To do this I mount the
stick on /dos, and copy stuff to it.

   Only today and maybe a couple of other times,  I finished copying
data to /dos and did umount /dos, and got a device busy message.
Only the one xterm touched /dos, from the mount, to the copy, to
the umount.  Last time this happened I did a umount -f as I needed
the data.  This time I went hunting and an  fstat | grep  doc revealed
that firefox had /dos?  *I* didn't do anything.

   Any ideas as to whats going on, or things to check?  I am puzzled.

Thanks, STeve Andre'
