OK, having been bitten by running out of FDs so many times in Opera 9.6X (the 10.X betas still dump core far too often - I'll be glad when the new crash-dump facility is ready for Linux!), and its resulting effects (not being able to save state on exit, dialog boxes coming up blank 'cause it can't open font files, etc.) I decided to solve the problem by bumping up the per-user open-file limit on Linux: I added this line to /etc/security/limits.conf : kenny - nofile 10240 ... giving me 10K open FDs, so when Opera 9.64 needs an ridiculous amount of open files, like this: ---- opera 6664 kenny 2105r REG 8,18 17090 54403 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUHI opera 6664 kenny 2106r REG 8,18 13877 63670 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUBK opera 6664 kenny 2107r REG 8,18 14786 63632 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUAT opera 6664 kenny 2108r REG 8,18 19725 63777 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUDN opera 6664 kenny 2109r REG 8,18 17164 63623 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUAL opera 6664 kenny 2110r REG 8,18 10421 63870 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUF7 opera 6664 kenny 2111r REG 8,18 15749 63685 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUBW opera 6664 kenny 2112r REG 8,18 13488 63698 /home/kenny/.opera/cache4/opr0CUC5 opera 6664 kenny 2113u IPv4 507329 TCP hp9800.local:45530->www.dslreports.com:www (CLOSE_WAIT) opera 6664 kenny 2118u IPv4 505720 TCP hp9800.local:45529->www.dslreports.com:www (CLOSE_WAIT---- ... it can get 'em.
