Are you running Solaris, by any chance? I've seen this on a Solaris
machine. Something opens a file called /var/run/name_service_door and
seems to leave it open. It's probably something deep in the guts of
Sun's C library. It seems to be harmless, though.
If you're *not* running Solaris, then I'm at a loss.

David.
