Re: [Duplicity-talk] OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

[Kenneth Loafman]

These are not open processes, they are zombie processes, so no real
resources taken.  That simplifies it a bit.  What normally causes this
is the failure of a parent process to properly retrieve its exit status,
but this is not the case or more people would have this problem.

As far as I can tell, the only systems this is happening on are 64bit,
and not even all of those.  Some of my systems are 64bit and they don't
show this, so I'm wondering if this could be limited to a particular
version of GnuPG, or what.

Edgar, from your note I could not tell, is this happening to you too?
