cygwin 1.7.26-1 causes Too many open files error in squid
I'm running squid on cygwin64 under Windows 7. All packages on my system are at the latest versions. After upgrading the cygwin package to 1.7.26-1, I started getting errors in squid which causes it to abort. Rolling the cygwin package back to 1.7.25-1 resolves the issue. Here are the errors in squid's cache.log: 2013/12/04 11:23:44| comm_open: socket failure: (24) Too many open files 2013/12/04 11:23:44| WARNING: This machine has a serious shortage of filedescriptors. 2013/12/04 11:23:44| Closing HTTP port [::]:3128 2013/12/04 11:23:44| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2013/12/04 11:23:44| Finished.

Hi Marco, On Mar 26 22:09, Marco Atzeri wrote: Hi Corinna, rebase had no effect. I packed the test case in http://matzeri.altervista.org/strace/ as makeinfo_test.tar.xz $ cd doc/interpreter $ makeinfo -I.. octave.texi Thanks for your testcase. I got the same problem in cygheap.cc as you saw. makeinfo was unable to raise the internal Cygwin heap size. And it was no wonder, really, because the cygheap had already been raised so much that it hit the memory location of the next DLL in memory at some 0x67xx address. This is *very* unlikely for the cygheap, unless... What happens is that makeinfo calls pathconf(3) on all input files. At one point I had to rewrite pathconf for 1.7 and while doing that I missed to free memory I allocated for a temporary file handler structure. This happens in every single call to pathconf(3). Ouch! I fixed this bug in CVS. A new Cygwin 1.7 test release is due soon.

Re: Too many open files problem
I did read the page you suggested me to read, some people replied me some tricks to better find on the web an answer but still I found just more questions with the same problem I have with no one to reply for a solution. I think I did my job. I still think that my installation is quite normal and that there is a problem somewhere as suggested by the many questions about the same problem I found. I also think that I have done all I can to try to help you in finding the problem. I'm just suspicious about how the problem report are handled on your side. Is it just forgotten or put on a TODO list or what? I know you are all volunteers there, I would like to contribute if I can (no one ever ask me for more details?!?) so this is why I wonder... Also, if someone can explain me (I think I've got the answer but still didn't find any doc about it) the behavior of my little perl program where I can get as many file handle I want (this seems to not be limited by any means).

Too many open files problem
Yes I searched the archive the best I can.
Is there an easy way to search for exact match in the mailing list
database, if so please tell me how. Because when I looked at too many open
files, there were a lot lot lot of mail unrelated to this (it seems that
the program looks at text were the 4 words are there, but not necessarly
together).
So, this is my problem:
###
$ find -name GCMref
$ find -name GCMref|xargs grep ''
grep: ./netgen-5.6/GCMref: Too many open files
$ find -name GCMref
./netgen-5.6/GCMref
$ xargs grep ''
./netgen-5.6/GCMref--- Entered by hand
gencol-4.3 --- From grep
$ grep '' ./netgen-5.6/GCMref --- Same as above (from xargs point-of-view)
gencol-4.3
###
As you can see, something seems to arise when using the pipes.
I have seen a manifestation of this problem in other contexts (for
instance, in perl scripts).
And what's bizare is that it is hard to reproduce exactly. For exemple, in
the last example, I re-issued the first command after all the others, and
it works well!?!
So I close the shell, re-start it and was I able to reproduce it (sometime
yes, sometime no).
Sometime ( I don't know if it's related ), the . command in bash silently
fails, returning at the prompt (I suspect it's a case of too many open
files but I'm not sure). It is really inconvenient since i may think that
all goes well (the real case is the .bashrc making many ., some of them
in cascades (say depth 3 max, and in all max 30 files to source). In this
case, we return at the prompt, no advice, and some variables are not
setted. It is really hard to reproduce, but happen say 1 on 20 time.
Someone has had this problem around?
And another (may be related) question:
Can someone explain me why this perl script on Solaris return 251,
on Linux 1022 and on cygwin runs forever?
$ touch aaa; perl -e 'for ( $n = 1; open f$n, aaa; $n++ ) {} print $n\n'
From this, I may assume that the fd table could be dynamic, but in that
case why are the other example crashes with too many open files???

Re: Too many open files problem
In facts, I goes all thru the mailing list archive, and all I found is people asking help about that problem. Unfortunatly, I didn't see any of these mail where a reply was done. Is there at least someone else who have seen that kind of problem so we can find what are the common point. That could guide us to a solution and I'm sure helping other people who'll get this problem in the next days...

Too many open files
I attempted to find an answer to this online and in archives, but had no success. I have a large make file with thousands of files which failed at the linking step. On restarting the make after changing the link settings I discovered the make file halted with Too many open files. I am running the latest version of cygwin 1.3.9 with all other tools updated on a Windows 2000 (Build 2195: Service Pack 2) machine. The files being ran through in the makefile are on a Windows NT machine on a small network. I checked the NT machine network resources and found that over 2000 files were open for read by the machine running make. Even after make is finished the files continue to stay open. Even after closing cygwin. Is this a problem in how make works? Does cygwin keep file handles openned and cached? Anyone got any idea whats going on? Anyone experienced the same problem? Thanks.
