Open file descriptors after dropping ASM disk

Hi all,
I have a (known) problem with Oracle processes having open file descriptors to "dropped" ASM disks. It is a known problem that Oracle says its not their problem but that of the OS, that Oracle server processes for session
that are idle (are sleeping) keep open file descriptors to dropped ASM disk. They will only release them if the session becomes active (someone does something in the session) and it finds out that the ASM disk has been dropped
somewhere during its nap. There are some bugs and fixes, but no real solution for the problem (for which Oracle says it is an OS problem). The only workaround I read in the various MOS notes is to restart the instance, but

Howdy, Stranger!
