Hi all,
Some of my customers running on Mavericks are having problems with "too many open files" errors. Raising the limit does solve the problem, but I've noticed that on 10.6, at idle, my app opens about 47 files, none of them gui graphics files. On Mavericks, the very same build of the app opens 102 files and keeps them open for the duration of the process existence. The difference is the graphics files used by the gui. There are no .png files opened on 10.6 while the app is at idle, but on Mavericks we have all of these taking up file descriptors (partial lsof output below). I don't directly open any of these files, and the only visible icons at the time are the 15 main toolbar buttons.
So is there a way to change this behavior and close these files? This product is currently built using Xcode 3.2.6. Would upgrading to the latest Xcode have any effect?
Thanks,
Michael
