Public bug reported:
The apparmor parser handles directory includes in an odd way, where each
file in the directory is opened and the pushed as a flex buffer state
before any files in the directory are actually processed. The flex
buffers and associated fds are then processed one by one and the <eof>
handling pops the buffer (and closes the fd) to get to the next file to
process.
This means that if a directory contains a lot of files the include could
fail as the parser will run out of available fds.
