 was contributed by Juniper Networks.
+.Sh BUGS
+If the file descriptor to which monitored events are being written is
+numerically lower than the descriptor on which /dev/filemon is open, the
+monitoring process will hang when it calls
+.Xr exit 3
+or an attempt is made to close the output file descriptor.
+To avoid the hang, ensure that the file descriptor on which /dev/filemon
+is open gets closed first.
 .Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
 Monitoring of a process enables the target process to write to the
 tracking process's file descriptor.
