Public bug reported: Patch FixLibraryStartup.patch
An Ubuntu-specific patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes /proc/self/auxv to be opened on library initialization, but the file is never closed. For long running processes that periodically re- initialize the library (Firefox's plugin-container loading the VLC plugin for me), this leads to the available file descriptors being exhausted. This is on Precise with libjpeg-turbo8 version 1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4. I believe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1177684 is caused by this issue as well, but have not confirmed this. Patch is attached. ** Affects: libjpeg-turbo (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "Patch (debdiff) addressing issue" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189939/+attachment/3700918/+files/close-auxv.diff ** Description changed: Patch FixLibraryStartup.patch An Ubuntu-specific patch (FixLibraryStartup.patch) causes /proc/self/auxv to be opened on library initialization, but the file is never closed.
