Which version of gedit? I know that at some point I fixed a missing
close() call in an error path... did you try you try to open many files
that failed loading? Can you reproduce easily?
Or maybe is some plugins that is leaking the file descriptors... which
plugins do you have active? Does disabling them make any difference?

Can you file a bug in bugzilla and provide as many info as possible...
if there is some case where we are leaking file descriptors I really
want to find it.

Thanks!
