We are running Softbench with the HP C++ compiler under HP-UX 9.0.

Occasionally, when we try to rebuild the executable we get a
'cant erase - text file busy' which means that a copy of the executable
is still running.  The problem is, where?  There doesn't seem to be
a process running, at least ps -ef does not show any process running
the executable.  Note that we are running the debugger but encounter
this problem even after quitting from the debugger.

Might there be a child process still running around?  If so, under
what name?  Has anyone encountered this problem?
