Description Chris Dunlop 2001-07-08 07:13:49 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-7.0.1smp i686)

Description of problem:
In common.c::Scan_queue() the current directory is opened using
opendir("."). This
directory is never closed which causes a leak of the file descriptor.  E.g.
with 200 files
in the queue I ended up with the spool directory open over 1000 times at
the same time as shown by lsof.  The process ends up running out of file
descriptors.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Queue 200 files to be printed
2. Wait a while...
3.  Use "lsof" on the "Server" daemon:
    lsof -p `ps ax | fgrep 'lpd (Server' | fgrep -v fgrep | sed 's/ .*//'`

	

Actual Results:  There were over 1000 instances of this in the output:

  lpd     11667 root 1023r   DIR    3,7   28672 106188 /var/spool/lpd/lp


Expected Results:  There should be a single instance, if that.
