I would expect IBAL to keep track of what bits a user-mode client set, and clear them when that user-mode client goes away.  Is there any such code, and is it just broken, or is that functionality not there at all?

It's for this very reason that in Linux it's done in the kernel when
the appropriate fd gets closed.

Does a similar thing occur on Windows on process/task crash ? Is the
fd closed or left "stranded" ?
