setfacl with many files at cmdline -> Too many open files (fwd)

FYI - wonder if we have a file descriptor leak in setfacl?
Or perhaps the nftw in there is holding too many fds open?

cheers.

Subject: Bug#288710: setfacl with many files at cmdline -> Too many open files

Package: acl
Version: 2.2.23-1
Severity: normal

if you call setfacl with many files on the cmdline you get an error:
"Too many open files". This happens in both of the following ways:

find . | setfacl -m ... -

or

find . -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -m ...

I did not test the maximal number of cmd-line files working. I think
this will depend on the system.

Dirk.
