System type, version: (RT/PC) Version 6.0C
System name: snorkelwacker
What's wrong:
I have a long list of filesystems that I attach at login time:
As far as I can tell the problem is two-fold:
1) There is a file descriptor leak in the Kerberos library
2) There is some kind of weirdness on the RT which handles file
descriptor allocation. For example, a freshly started program has FD
0, 1, 2, 17, 18, and 19 open. Why 17, 18, and 19? Who knows... But
it loses after trying to allocate file descriptor 32 (NOFILES is 64)
so this should be looked into further.
Problem (1) will cause attach to fail on the VAX after about 30 file
systems, problem (2) causes it to fail on the RT after 16 or so.
Neither problem is attach's fault.
