Re: [xml] I/O error : Too many open files

Hi,
        This may not be much help but:

This is not libxml's fault. I see this message now and again
on Solaris machines. Usually before it needs rebooting.

> I/O warning : failed to load external entity 

This is a libxml error message when a file cannot be opened.
It is presumably due to there being "too many open files".

Presumably a NULL FILE* (failure to open file)

If what I am saying is correct, you should
probably even trip the first error with the following
simple code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        /* Replace xsl filename with the name of your file */
        FILE *foo=fopen("xsl_filename", "r");
        if( foo == NULL ) {
          perror("fopen:");
          exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

        fclose(foo);
}
        

should print

fopen: too many open files

(You may have to try opening say 3 files, input, output and stylesheet)

In this case, rebooting may be a quick and easy way
to restore normality to the system.

Good luck,
        Balint
