Hi there @ the MySQL list, I'm currently using mysql-server-3.23.52-3 on RedHat Linux 8.0 with Apache httpd-2.0.40-8
After some problems with the httpd server, I found out that the list of open files spawn by mysqld had more than 20,000 entries, although the PID's from the related processes didn't turn up in `ps aux`. As of today, I found out that within my board software, YaBBSE, there was a bug, causing a hang in another function (getimagesize) while a request was still open. The downside was that even after the request was cancelled, the mysqld still kept the files open... Is there any way of defining a timeout, so that mysqld will really close all its open files and connections to the httpd?
