[Mldonkey-users] NetBSD-Mystery and how i solved it

[Karsten Kruse]

Hoi,

Mldonkey (latest and greatest from CVS) uses 100% CPU. This is not for 
some minutes but for days. Here is what ktruss -p <pid-of-mldonkey> says 
(ktruss is something like strace):

   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey poll(0x82f8200, 0x2f, 0x23)        = 1
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey accept(0x11, 0xbfbff978, 0xbfbff954) Err#24 EMFILE
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey poll(0x82f8200, 0x2f, 0x20)        = 1
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey accept(0x11, 0xbfbff978, 0xbfbff954) Err#24 EMFILE
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey poll(0x82f8200, 0x2f, 0x1d)        = 1
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey accept(0x11, 0xbfbff978, 0xbfbff954) Err#24 EMFILE
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey poll(0x82f8200, 0x2f, 0x1a)        = 1
   467 mldonkey gettimeofday(0xbfbffa00, 0)        = 0
   467 mldonkey accept(0x11, 0xbfbff978, 0xbfbff954) Err#24 EMFILE

I opened man accept(2) and this is what it says:

    [EMFILE]      The per-process descriptor table is full.

I guess this is the problem, but how can i solve this?
Is this a system- or Mldonkey-related problem?
Why is there so often gettimeofday?

CPU on fire ;).
