Hello
I was having a very nasty fd leak recently where I've leaked more than 200k
FDs, allocating more than 1Gbytes of ram in kernel space. It was my
fault alright,
but I thought I'd mention it here so maybe you'll put a little NOTE
section in the
documentation mentioning that you have to os.close() the original FD to
avoid
leakage. Also I'm not completely clear why python does it this way and
why not
close the original socket - it seems (at least to me) that this would be
the right(er)
way.
Nevertheless what are your thoughts on this? Should I file a bug report
for it?
(The best part was that the allocated FD memory did not show up as slab, so
this was a real pain in the butt to hunt down)
