Thanks, Jonathan. That's a good suggestion. I last restarted the app a couple of hours ago. ps reports 4 processes that match 'web2py'. Grepping for each pid in lsof shows nothing extraordinary. Each process has 80-90 files open. The vast majority are libraries (.so). There are a few chr files and about 10 pipes associated with each pid.
I'll check again in a few hours and see if the numbers are increasing.
