HTTP textures seems to make an already bad situation worse. A very large number of the open files I see on Linux are fonts: I've seen up to 20 FDs pointing to the same font file - I typically run under linux with a ulimit of 2048 to avoid the issue. I see similar things on Windows (7) but it is neither quite as bad (fewer fonts maybe?) nor happens to hit whatever fd limit windows has. One of the problems with running out of FDs is that the viewer can fail in all sorts of bizarre ways and will often not be able to dump a useful log.
