Hello,

this is http://bugs.debian.org/650795 submitted by Jonathan Nieder
--------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to build linux-2.6/squeeze:

| dh_install -X.svn debian/patches/*
'/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/debian'
| install debian/bin/patch.apply
'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/apply/debian'
| install debian/templates/patch.unpatch
'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/unpatch/debian'
| find
'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/debian' !
-path '*/series/*' -type f -execdir bzip2 '{}' ';' -execdir chmod 644 '{}.bz2'
';'
| find: Failed to save working directory in order to run a command on
`drm-i915-rephrase-pread+pwrite-bounds-checking-to-avoid-potential-overflow.patch':
Too many open files
| make[2]: *** [install-patch] Erreur 1
| make[2] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/jrn/.cache/t/linux-2.6 »
| make[1]: *** [binary-indep] Erreur 2
| make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/jrn/.cache/t/linux-2.6 »
| make: *** [binary-indep] Erreur 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: erreur: fakeroot debian/rules binary a produit une erreur
de sortie de type 2

| $ dpkg-query -W findutils
| findutils     4.5.10-1
| $ ulimit -n
| 1024

It seems that "find -execdir" is not very frugal with file
descriptors.
[...]
Downgrading to 4.4.2-1 avoids trouble, fortunately.
