Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.21-3
Followup-For: Bug #610191
I have the same problem. Running mutt with 'strace -eopen,close -o strace.log
mutt'
shows that mutt is not closing all file descriptors properly:
[...]
open("/home/michael/mail/<maildir-x>/new",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 44
close(44) = 0
open("/home/michael/mail/<maildir-x>/cur",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 44
open("/home/michael/mail/<maildir-y>/new",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 45
close(45) = 0
open("/home/michael/mail/<maildir-y>/cur",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 45
[...]
and so on. When the maximum number of file descriptors is reached opening
any file fails resulting in the 'Could not create temporary file!' and
other error messages.
