Hi, Tino Schwarze [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Without having looked at the code - what do we need that many FDs for?! We don't need to open all palettes at once, do we? Gimp-1.2.0 leaks a filedescriptor when loading palettes. This has been fixed in the meantime. Salut, Sven

The code for the brushes, gradients and the palettes is (was?) really nasty. But the file descriptors are closed after the complete palette is loaded to memory, if this is not the case on Solaris we should have a closer look on this one because it might easily eat of the whole systemressources. -- Servus, Daniel

To bump the number of file descriptors system wide, add the following to /etc/system: * set soft limit on file descriptors set rlim_fd_cur = 256 Wouldn't it be a good idea to make gimp call setrlimit to fix this if, say, the limit is below 256?
