Per-Mapscript reporting too many open files

[BeneditoCruz]

The following Perl program works returns with "Too many open files" using mapserv 4.10.1/4.10.2:

#-------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$|=1;

use mapscript;

foreach (0..50)

{ print "$_ ";

my $map = new mapscript::mapObj('/home/mapcria/bin/data/mapfiles/default.map') or die "Unable to open mapfile $!";

undef $map;

}

#-------------------------------------------------------------.

The versions used are:

Fedora Core 6 x86_64

Kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)

PERL 5.8.8

GDAL 1.4.0

GD 2.0.33

GEOS 2.2.3

The problem does not occur in another installation using mapserver 4.2.0.

ADDENDUM:

THis problem only occurs when using Include's in the mapfile. It seems that included files are not being closed when mapObj's are destroyed.

Can you try 5.0 (the main SVN trunk) and let me know if the problem persists? Some changes where made to help this issue there.

I tested the SVN version and the problem disappears. Thanks.

Replying to BeneditoCruz:

I'll have to figure out what changed to backport. Thanks for testing.

Marking as fixed... (if we issue another 4.10 release I will backport)
