[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#466915: libgdal1-1.4.0: Leaves file handles open when used with php5-mapscript for GRASS vector maps

[Harri Kiiskinen]

Package: libgdal1-1.4.0
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I'm running a map application, that serves data from GRASS vector maps
with PHP5 and Mapserver. The 
connection type is OGR, and the maps work perfectly. However, each map 
produced leaves five (5) more file handles open:
One to:
/grass/location/mapset/vector/vectormap/coor
One to:
/grass/location/mapset/vector/vectormap/hist
And three to:
/usr/lib/grass/etc/ellipse.table

These handles are not reused while serving the next map based on these
files, but are left to accumulate. 
After a while the system starts to emit "Too many open files".
Restarting Apache frees the handles, so a 
regular restart is a remedy, but the behaviour is in any case not
correct. 

This might well have something to do with OGR.

Best Wishes,

Harri K.
