Package: mail-notification Version: 3.0.dfsg.1-3 Severity: normal
(This is an upstream bug, but I could not find a bug tracking system for upstream.) mail-notification causes bonobo-activation-server to leak file descriptors (opens too many pipes). I ran across this in the following situation: Tell mail-notification to watch an evolution mailbox with a pretty frequent update interval (not sure whether the last one is really necessary). Then close evolution, so mail-notification usually displays a funny "cannot access mailbox" icon in the notification area. Now the bonobo-activation server starts opening file descriptors (and not close them) at an alarming rate -- this can be observed in /proc/###/fd Pretty soon 1024 file descriptors are open. Then trying to open a gnome-terminal just means sending bonobo on a 100% cpu trip, no terminal opening. According to strace, bonobo just tries to open pipes and fails due to too many open files. Cheers, Itay. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-phichsa-1 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mail-notification depends on: ii gnome-icon-theme 2.14.2-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.12-1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.12-1 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.12-1 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-3 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.0-5 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libeel2-2 2.14.3-1 Eazel Extensions Library (for GNOM ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgail-common 1.8.11-2 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail17 1.8.11-2 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.2-3 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgmime2.1 2.1.19-1 MIME library, unstable version ii libgnome-keyring0 0.4.9-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-1 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgnutls13 1.4.1-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.2-1 library for common error values an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.18-6 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liborbit2 1:2.14.0-2 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.2 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-2 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsasl2 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.2 Authentication abstraction library ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libtasn1-3 0.3.5-2 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.5.2-5 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:3.0.1.2-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.26.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-4 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime mail-notification recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
