Strange thing about file descriptors...

[Przemyslaw Wegrzyn <czajnik@tower.t16.ds.pwr.wroc.pl>]

I've found the following strange thing:

black:~# lsof | wc -l
   1826
black:~# more /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
4096    3513    8192

Why is the number of file handles in use (3513) so high, comparing to the
size of lsof report ? 
What are all those file handles used for ?

Any suggestions welcome..
