Charles-François Natali added the comment: There's probably a special mechanism due to vserver which makes the kernel kill the process instead of failing with EPERM, but it's really surprising.
What happens if you try the following: $ python -c "from resource import *; _, hard = getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE); setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, (hard, hard))" You could run the process under strace to see what's going on: you'll likely just see the reception of a signal though. Maybe "dmesg" would show interesting logs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21901> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
