Good idea!

origin site is:
ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/
We mirror it here:
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/utilities/sysadmin/lsof/

Note that you will probably have to re-compile it so that it knows that
linux handles 3000 filehandles, and even then you might have problems...
this is due to a bug in the patch that doesn't create /proc/<pid>/fd/number
entries properly (I have to patch that soon... :(

Look:
lr-x------ 1 squid squid 64 Aug 7 11:21 255 -> [0900]:1775662
?--------- 1 squid squid 0 Aug 7 11:21 256
?--------- 1 squid squid 0 Aug 7 11:21 257
?--------- 1 squid squid 0 Aug 7 11:21 258
?--------- 1 squid squid 0 Aug 7 11:21 259
lrwx------ 1 squid squid 64 Aug 7 11:21 26 -> [0900]:100686
