[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49736] Crash when too many files are opened

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49736 (project octave):

Doesn't /proc/sys/fs/file-max give the overall limit for all processes on the
system?  In bash, the commands


ulimit -S -n
ulimit -H -n


will give you the soft and hard limits for the current process.  On my system,
those numbers are 1024 and 4096.

I don't see a crash with the current development sources, just an error
message.  And the error returned by fopen is "too many open files".

Is there anything we can do here?  It seems that Octave is behaving as
expected here and that this report can be closed.
