[Bug 1189939] [NEW] Initialization leaks file descriptors to /prox/self/auxv

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Patch FixLibraryStartup.patch

An Ubuntu-specific patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes
/proc/self/auxv to be opened on library initialization, but the file is
never closed.  For long running processes that periodically re-
initialize the library (Firefox's plugin-container loading the VLC
plugin for me), this leads to the available file descriptors being
exhausted.

This is on Precise with libjpeg-turbo8 version 1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4.

I believe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1177684 is
caused by this issue as well, but have not confirmed this.

Patch is attached.
