Package: terminator
Version: 0.95-1
Severity: normal
I do not know if this is bug or by design, but terminator keeps lots of opened
files in /tmp/ which are actually deleted:

It looks to bug too me, terminator have only 6 subterminals opened, and why so
much files?
So even if terminator is using some buffering for for example scrolling, or
communication
with subterminals, it should be 70 files (about 12 per terminal!).
I guess, something doesn't closed them.
In fact, after closing 5 subterminals, and just leaving 1 of them, it still
shows lots of opened files:

(75 opened files)
Presumbly, this is problem for 4 reasons:
1) it probably consumes /tmp/ space, which is bad especially if /tmp is small,
or is actually tmpfs in memory.
2) make it harder to find other applications which use lots of temporary space
with unlied files,
3) may lead to using lots of file descriptor, with default 1024 opened file
limit, this can done very easly,
4) makes system slower, due additional processing, especially when using them
in things like select(), etc.
and maybe more.
Please fix if it is bug.
Regards,
Witek
