[Evolution-hackers] Too many open files for folders.db

[Jeff Cai <Jeff Cai Sun COM>]

Hi

"evolution" process shows a large and growing number of file descriptors open on a small number of "folders.db" files; once there are over 255 open file descriptors (the default limit) new operations seeking to open a file descriptor fail and evolution stops working.

Whenever you click a folder, the folders.db will be opened once. So if you run Evolution for 
a while, you will find dozens of file handles of folders.db. Is this a bug? or is it expected
behavior? In Solairs, the default open file limit is 256, while in Linux is 1024, so the error
is easily produced in Solaris.

Can Evolution share the same file handle to folders.db? or can the handle be closed if you
switch to a new folder?

Thanks

Jeff
