Has anybody else seen Mozilla just start munching file descriptors the longer it runs? I've seen it with at least Phoen^WFirebird 0.6 and the current Firebi^WFirefox. It just keeps going 'till it maxes out the system. fstat(1) doesn't show much directly, but with -v it spits a crapload of errors:
(ttyp4):{173}% fstat -v | & grep -E 'unknown file type 5 for file [0-9]+ of pid 4697' | wc -l 3472 (that being, of course, my current firefox PID) File type 5 is a kqueue (according to sys/file.h). Why is Mozilla eating an ever-increasing number of kqueue handles? Is this our problem or theirs? Or is this something fixed since I last updated (I'm on 5.1-RELEASE now)?
