Tried attaching `truss` to the filePro process and then doing something
that triggers it, or using it until it happens?  That should tell you the
system call in progress.

Solaris has a /proc filesystem as well.  I'm not sure how similar it is to
linux's, as permissions on the Solaris box I have don't let me go there.
But under linux's /proc, there would be /proc/[pid]/fd and under there a
file for each file descriptor that's open.  You could `ls -l` in there and
see what files are actually open (as compared to what's being reported).
