#29 Unable to write song data .../data.xml_temp

After scanning a directory with about 60,000 files (but only 250 .mp3!), gjay crashes with the following error.
The reason was "Too many open files" but I only found that out after adding a perror() to songs.c:410.

Please

• make the error messages more verbose
• optimize the algorithm so that less than 1024 filehandles are kept open

bye,

BTW, most of the open file handles are .wav files. Maybe there's a missing fclose()...

ls -al /proc/14570/fd/ |wc -l

ls -al /proc/14570/fd/ |grep -c .wav
