I think I found the root of this bug (at least for me). It's related to sound. I noticed that the increase number of the FD happens when the sound is not working. The pipes listed in lsof are to the sound system.
I think it's related to flash-plugin (always the closed source!). I'll take a deeper look. -- Pidgin randomly crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298820 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
