[pdftex] filedescriptor leak in pdftex 14h

[Tobias Oetiker]

Folks,

I am using pdflatex (14h) to produce a catalog with many images.
After a few hundred images pdftex dies with the message

<use img_ghostdogthewayofthesamurai.jpg>pdflatex:
img_serialexperimentslainreset1113b00002e257.jpg: Too many open files

if I use limit descriptors unlimited (which effectively sets the
limit to 1024) I can go a bit further, but pdftex still dies ...

Is it realy necessary to keep descriptors to all included images
open, or is it a filedescriptor leak ?

I am not familiar with the pdftex code, so I have not started to
look for the bug in the code. If someone can tell me where abouts
to look I will be glad to ...

cheers
tobi
