Hello Stephen, (and CHristian, please!) Thanks for your patch revision. I've merged it, and have done some light editing, but I still have a question: On 1/23/21 5:11 PM, Stephen Kitt wrote: [...] > +.SH ERRORS > +.TP > +.B EMFILE > +The per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached > +(see the description of > +.B RLIMIT_NOFILE > +in > +.BR getrlimit (2)). I think there was already a question about this error, but I still have a doubt. A glance at the code tells me that indeed EMFILE can occur. But how can the reason be because the limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached? I mean: no new FDs are being opened, so how can we go over the limit. I think the cause of this error is something else, but what is it?
