Hello there,

I had a problem running liquidsoap for a long time : it crashes due to a too
large number of opened files. It turned out that somewhere a bidirectional
pipe was opened but only the write-to side was closed, leaving the read-from
side opened.
By grepping Unix.pipe() */*/*.ml, I found something troubling in
ocaml-duppy/src/duppy.ml :

  let out_pipe,in_pipe = Unix.pipe () in
...
     if !stop then begin
        begin
          try
            Unix.close in_pipe
          with _ -> ()
        end ;
        []
      end

I guess there is also something like Unix.close out_pipe missing here. Since
I added this, liquidsoap has been working fine, with a much more stable
number of file descriptors.

Does my kind of tweak to correct this make sense ?

Thank you in advance,

Benoit Avarapi
