Package: fam
Version: 2.7.0-6
Severity: important

Am running fam in a  kde ltsp environment.
After about 10 people log in sessions start to stall.
Was getting errors in syslog from famd saying it is out of file handles.

Jun 27 13:28:52 oshkosh famd[5361]: failed to accept new client: Too many open 
files

Jun 27 13:29:00 oshkosh famd[5361]: localclient socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 
0): Too many open files

restarting famd makes things resume.

I added to the startup of famd

ulimit -n 4096

This stops the errors to syslog but still hangs when fam has a bit over 1024 
files opened.
I check with lsof.

T tried rebuilding fam changing in DNotify.h

   enum { QUEUESIZE = 1024 };
to
   enum { QUEUESIZE = 8196 };
Didn't help :-(

At the moment running without famd but would prefer to run it if possible.

Personally I consider this to be a catastrophic bug

Any thing else to try to fix this?

Next I'm planning on removing dnotify support and see what happens.

If there is a limit to how many requests fam can handle, it should be clearly 
documented.
