and why so much files? So even if terminator is using some buffering for for example scrolling, or communication with subterminals, it should be 70 files (about 12 per terminal!). I guess, something doesn't closed them. In fact, after closing 5 subterminals, and just leaving 1 of them, it still shows lots of opened files: user1@sil:~/$ LC_ALL=C ls -U -l /proc/`ps aux | grep '/usr/bin/terminator' | grep -v grep | awk

probably consumes /tmp/ space, which is bad especially if /tmp is small, or is actually tmpfs in memory. 2) make it harder to find other applications which use lots of temporary space with unlied files, 3) may lead to using lots of file descriptor, with default 1024 opened file limit, this can done very easly, 4) makes system slower, due additional processing, especially when using them in things like select(), etc. and maybe more. Please fix if it is bug.
