[Bug 968021] Re: boinc stops on error after a few days (md5_file: Too many open files) in stderrdae.txt

[LeForgeron]

Now running 7.0.34, it does not seem to leak on file descriptor so far (already 10 tasks done).
A collision on disk full (well, allocated space) is probably another issue (best tracked in its own bugreport ?)

7.0.33 was fine too.

My check is :
 $  sudo lsof -p `pidof boinc`

The last file descriptor does not increase as tasks are done (it can
raise a bit to send back the result, but later it returns to something
always low (like 20 or 30))

As an illustration:
