One more time: there are two distinct classes of objects - opened files and opened descriptors. That's the point - by the time of munmap() there is no file descriptor at all. It's been gone for a month. Descriptor getting closed != file getting closed. If you are talking about the last reference to opened file - OK. But there won't necessary be any descriptors refering to it.
