Follow-up Comment #4, bug #34976 (project findutils): The same issue has been seen in openSUSE 12.2 as originally reported in the forum:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/other-forums/development/programming-scripting/481883-limit-find.html#post2514574 and documented in this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796173 Downgrading to the findutils package version (4.4.2) which comes with the previous version of openSUSE (12.1) fixes the problem so this matches the experience mentioned in comment #3 and the original description. Testing with the snippet of code in Comment #3 I can reproduce this easily on a standard openSUSE 12.2 system, so for duplicating setting one up and running those commands should be reliable (my system was not the one where the issue was originally found, so this is not a single-openSUSE-box bug). Bumping up the ulimit to 4096 prevents the problem when using the snippet of code from Comment #3, but increasing the number of files generated by that script by a factor of four (corresponding to the increase in the number of allowed open files via the ulimit command) results in the error again. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34976> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
