Unlike dossrv, ftpfs doesn't post a file in /srv.  Dossrv does that
since it can be mounted many times.  If you removed dossrv's /srv/dos
file, it too would go away since that would clunk the last reference.

That sounds like a bug.  But why doesn't ftpfs suffer the same
symptoms?  On the other hand, even
	sleep 10 >[0]/tmp/zz >[1]/tmp/zz >[2]/tmp/zz >[3]/tmp/zz &
makes the window stick around; what files is that holding open?
It should be none, right?
