Change Details

Limit the default soft limit of opened file descriptors to 1024. A lot of software developed for systems without closefrom(2) loops trying to close all file descriptors from N to the rlimit, all 58977 of them, one syscall per nonexistent fd.

Limit the default soft limit of opened file descriptors to 1024. A lot of software developed for systems without closefrom(2) loops trying to close all file descriptors from N to the rlimit, all 58977 of them, one syscall per nonexistent fd. Note that this does not affect the hard rlimit - the process can still raise the soft limit using setrlimit(2). They do use it, since they are usually being developed under distributions which set the limit the exact same way.
