Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

I am using gedit 2.20.3 in Gutsy.

After leaving gedit open for several days, and opening/closing dozens of
files, gedit will refuse to save anything with:

 Could not save the file [ ... ]
 There are too many open files. Please close some applications and try again.

lsof will report gedit has over 1200+ files open, mostly with deleted tmp files:
...

Doesn't matter how many files I currently *really* have open. Just now
it happened with only 2 file tabs opened.
