I used byobu 4.37-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Server 11.10 64 bit.
I left byobu running. But every few hours it will automatically close saying
"pipe: Too many open files y".
Ulimit -n was 1024.
I upgraded to 5.16-0ubuntu1~ppa5 and the problem still existed. I raised ulimit -n to 4096. Instead of crashing it will go into an infinite loop using 100% CPU.
These were 2 backtraces from the infinite loop.
