this standard behaviour. This is not RH6 specific. When a process starts
up it inherifs a few file handles from the parent process (in your case,
teh shell). unless the process is written as a deamon, and deliberately
goes about closing all file descriptors, you will have an open file
descriptor. pushing the process into the background (&), is not enough.
