Ahhh crud - the kern.file sysctl isn't completly calculated from
the list of all open files - it iterates through all the processes
to form the final list. Could you try rerunning pstat with the patch
below - it walks the full open file list, rather than checking each
process (this may leak open file info to people within jails on the
machine, hopefully that is not a problem for you...)

(You'll need to recompile your kernel, but not anything else...)

If the files start to show up here, then we can begin to figure out
where they're comming from.
