That's a rather brutal way to fix this --- did you try following the
installation handbook on access control?  The text is here:

Interesting, that sounds like a bug...  Can you please post exact
instructions for how to reproduce this on our bugtracker?

Well, the code *should* go incrementally over the tree and work with a
bounded number of file-descriptors.  So we either have a leak somewhere,
or something else fundamental got broken somewhere.  Hard to say.  I'll
be happy to look into it --- but first I'll need to reproduce it.  If
you file a bug report, I'll certainly comment on my success/failure to
reproduce there and then we can see what additional information might be
required to address this.

First, can you try publishing using just 'gnunet-publish' (no
gnunet-fs-gtk)?  If that works, it would already significantly narrow
down the potential scope of the problem.  I'll also run some tests once
I have a chance...


Happy hacking!
