AccountManager plugin is leaking files/file descriptors

[tomek@…]

My Trac installation stopped working with

SubversionException: ("Can't open file '/var/svn/jabberd2/format': Too many open files", 24)

When I investigated it, i've checked the file descriptor list and where it points to:

amenite ~ # ps aux | grep jabberd2

and so on other ~1000 open files like this.

It breaks the perfectly running installation... :-(

[Matt Good]

This doesn't look like it's specific to this plugin, but something broken in how the template files are being extracted from the Egg. It's possible Trac isn't closing them properly, or this is something broken in setuptools itself. Check that you're running the latest setuptools version. Can you bring this up on the ​t:MailingList to see if anyone else has seen this behavior?

[John Hampton]

closing as won't fix due to inactivity, lack of response, and inability to duplicate the issue.
