Description Giovanni Campagna 2013-01-24 09:24:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Bash consistently leaks 2 file descriptors opened to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions when applying command completions.
The problem arises also when the directory is completely empty, so it's not related to scripts installed there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bash-4.2.42-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press tab twice at the prompt. No command is needed.
2. Watch ls -l /proc/$$/fd become longer
3. Wait for Too many open files error

Expected results:
No additional file descriptors are kept open after completing the command.
Comment 1 Roman Rakus 2013-01-24 19:51:55 UTC 
So it belongs to bash-completion package.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2013-01-24 22:09:31 UTC 
That seems to come from us trying to source the /usr/share/bash-completion/completions dir itself in some scenarios, and bash leaking a fd on each such try.

See bug 903833 for the bash one, candidate workaround applied in bash-completion upstream:

Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2013-02-01 17:48:13 UTC 
Bug 903833 fixes the root cause so there's no need to wait for the bash-completion workaround.
