Comment 7 for bug 700478

IRIE,
I am using the latest trunk version of MLT on a Ubuntu 10.04 system, running the latest version of OpenShot (of course), and I can not reproduce this error. I created 2 different image sequences of snow, added the 2 clips to my timeline, back to back, and have been playing them repeatability for the past 20 minutes. It works without any issues.

Can you give this a try. Run these commands, and see if you notice anything of significance.

Step 1) Run $ lsof | grep "openshot" > ~/Desktop/openfiles_before.txt
Step 2) Run openshot, and reproduce the "too many files" error
Step 3) While openshot is experiencing the issue, open up a new terminal, and run:
   lsof | grep "openshot" > ~/Desktop/openfiles_after.txt

My only thought was perhaps some library or MLT itself has already fixed this issue, and you are using one of those older libraries. Of course, that is just a theory. =)

Thanks,
-Jonathan
