It sure looks suspicious to *me*.
Because many of these open files are Mozilla cache files, Firefox
chrome, and such, I suspect that the gnash plugin is being forked by
mozilla without closing all its file descriptors. Perhaps
gnash should run around and close them before it starts.
Hmm, on a single gnash process that I have lying around here, I find
at least a dozen file descriptors open for /dev/urandom! And the same
ones are open in my firefox process. Seems there's a bit of
sloppiness in firefox's own file descriptor closing. And then we
inherit all of them.
Yep, in plugin/plugin.cpp, we fork, and then exec gnash, without closing
any file descriptors except stdin. Should be straightforward to fix.
If nobody else gets to it, I'll do it after internationalization.
