Indeed, you can unlink open files on Unix; and that's not too
strange, as unlinking a file does not mean destroying it. It just
isn't referenced by the directory structure anymore.
The space on disk is actually feed only when there are no more
references to it and no processes have an handle to it.
Regards,
Gabriele.
