I guess I have finally seen this complaint enough to investigate. Consider this program: #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { FILE *f = fopen("/dev/null", "r"); if (!f) break; printf("%d\n", i); } exit(0); } When I run it, I see numbers up to 99. That means that there is no 20 open file limit, AFAICT. Maybe this is just in recent snapshots. If so, it will be fixed in the next release. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
