[Duplicity-tracker] [bug #21792] pipe call fails with an error OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

[Kenneth Loafman]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #21792 (project duplicity):

ulimit -n on Linux is 1024 and this problem shows up occasionally.  My guess
is that the process is holding the files open until one of the backup files is
written.  In most cases, the 1024 limit would be sufficient.  In the case of
email, that limit may need to be much higher.  If you don't mind, try 2048 or
maybe 4096 and let us know if that helps.

I'm going to try a couple of things here and see if I can find a solution. 
Open pipes may indeed be the thing we're looking for.

I don't think a -v9 will be needed.
