The two ones I know about for RHEL are: [Bug 460694] urllib2 fd leak, with r.recv = r.read https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460694 [Bug 460692] m2crypto leaks fds into GC https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460692 ...the first one should be fixed in "newer" Fedora releases, but AIUI isn't fixed upstream yet. -- James Antill <ja...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
