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
