Can someone explain the following...

	I had a bug that caused /etc/update to hang
	I then killed /etc/update
	I then restarted update (/etc/update &)
		while cd'd into a /usr subdir
	I then cd'd to / and tried to
		/etc/umount /dev/at0	(where /usr was mounted)
	which told me that it was busy.

I had no other processes running.  I then killed /etc/update
and I could umount /dev/at0.

Can someone please explain to me why umount thought /dev/at0 was busy.

cheers,
-c
