hi

after reloading awesome's config several times (via Mod4+Ctrl+R), it
won't reload anymore with the error message "cannot open
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua: Too many open files". I start awesome
manually via startx and $HOME/.xinit, so I guessed this might be the
shell limiting the number of open files. On the other hand 'ulimit -a'
shows that 1024 open file descriptors are allowed, which seems to me to
be quite a lot.

Why are there so many files open? I do query 'amixer' every second but
that's all, no other external files/processes. Is it because I have
three hooks that fire every second, do I need to combine them into one or
vary the update time, something like that? 

Any hints are appreciated
