Re: mach_task_self, mach_thread_self, mach_host_self

Hello,

I independently rediscovered that host port leak.  I see two options
how to proceed:

1/ Cache the port in the libc like we do for the task port.
2/ Cache/deallocate the port everywhere.

Given the fact that I found not a single call site of `mach_host_self'
(in both the Hurd and the libc) that deallocated the port, the
expectation clearly seems to be that `mach_host_self' works like
`mach_task_self'.  Shall we be pragmatic about it and go with 1/?

Justus
