Subject: X-Faces and 'too many open files'
Date: 22 Sep 1997 02:57:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ybaafh6qi62.fsf@octopussy.math.TU-Berlin.DE> (raw)
Hello everybody.
I encountered the following problem with Gnus' ability to display the
X-Faces: After browsing through a number of articles containing
X-Faces (and having them displayed in the article buffer [1]),
my xemacs refuses to display more faces telling me:
Cannot open: too many open files
It seems that Gnus is somehow leaking file handles (yes, all articles
are displayed in the same *Article* buffer). I encountered this in
Gnus 3.4.37 and even 3.4.65. My xemacs is 19.15.
[1] The relevant part of my ~/.gnus:
(setq gnus-article-display-hook
(quote (gnus-article-hide-headers-if-wanted
gnus-article-treat-overstrike
gnus-article-highlight
gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable
gnus-article-display-x-face)))
Is there a known way to prevent (or circumvent) this annoying phenomenon?
Any hint appreciated.
Olaf
