Re: [Evolution] Using a lot of file handles

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Evolution can use a lot of file handles, but it shouldn't be anywhere near 10K per user.  More like 200 or so (in a typical high load situation), depending on what's happening.  But maybe that number doesn't relate directly to open fd's and depends on threading & processes or something.

1.0.8 is very ancient in evolutionary terms, so it could very well have such bugs.
