Karl Young <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Karl Young <[email protected]> --- We've run into this on 9.2. We're using OpenSource software that uses popen() to run external commands. Since popen() returns FILE*, it fails when we get to 32K open files. This seems to be rarely hit (no comments since 2011), but it can be a show-stopper. The only workaround I see in our case is to roll our own popen(). BTW in comment 1: > with a 32-bit file descriptor field. If the file descriptor exceeds 32767, > the 16-bit > field then contains -1 and fileno() in old binaries will return > that. I think this fails when FD gets to 64K and the short version starts counting up from 0 again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
