I have exactly the same problem, except I'm using linux and my ulimit is 1024. When I have http-textures enabled and I teleport the open files hover around 850-950 with the viewer intermittently running out of file descriptors. This causes about 1/3 of the http connections to time out, presumably waiting for a free file descriptor, after this happens for 30 seconds or so the cache system will get confused and clear the whole cache, often 2 or 3 times per teleport. Eventually the viewer will give up on the textures leaving 1/3 of the world gray. As you might imagine, this makes http-textures completely unusable for me.
Occasionally the viewer will run out of file descriptors for too long and crash, I had this happen to me once when some one IM'd me and the viewer couldn't open the log file. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
