A system boot clears the problem. Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 firefox: Installed: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ubuntu-archives.mirror.nexicom.net/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status After closing my firefox session, I called up my script for SimCity 4 Deluxe and the wine console reported this: err:winediag:FILE_CreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably needs to be increased The ulimit shell command returns: john@john-12-10:~$ ulimit unlimited There is either something wrong with the firefox wrapup routine or the system is not releasing file handles promptly nor properly. I expected my application to run. It has run earlier today before the firefox session, and will run after a system boot. In any case, it is most annoying that the system is crippled after a run in the browser.
