I just think it doesn't cache the index and B+tree inodes, so that it 
only leaks some memory in that case. While for our BFS, the cached 
nodes prevents the fs from being unmounted.
The only work-around (and that would be the cleanest possibility for 
R5) is to have a timeout for queries.

Adios...
