Under Leopard, lsof wasn't revealing much.  However, my problem  
doesn't seem to appear in Leopard, but I went back to Tiger and tried  
it again.  This finally seems to be pointing in the right direction!   
My task is making use of a pipe, which is acting as a new "file" or  
resource and it isn't closing properly.

MyApp 1074 admin  254     PIPE 0x38ee998    16384

After looking back at my code, it appears I forgot to deallocate the  
pipe except at the very end!  Going to test this now, and perhaps this  
will fix my problem.

Best regards,

Chad
