Title:
  Initialization leaks file descriptors to /prox/self/auxv

Status in “libjpeg-turbo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
