Comment 33 for bug 888872

A little more on that error popup. It's from GoldenDict and tehy've been aware of Record being broken for sometime now, although from 2009 (so this might not be applicable or it might indicate a regression):

There is a fix noted in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120240
that suggests increasing nproc limits to 1500 (hard). I haven't tried this as I'm not sure what nproc to change. I have various nprocs with low figures listed in/etc/security/limits.conf and I don't know which one to edit, student, faculty or ftp (I doubt it would be this ftp).

In any case, I doubt changing the limits would help considering that the Gnome shell doesn't crash using the same file limits file.
