>Description:

	/usr/bin/w does not close all files prior to exiting. It calls functions from the kvm 
	library, which in turn is openning /dev/null (at w's request), however, w does not
	call the kvm_close().

>How-To-Repeat:

	You can witness this by stepping through the program via a gdb.

>Fix:

	Insert prior to line 417 in src/usr.bin/w/w.c the line:
		kvm_close(kd);
