#8 Too many open files
If you use transconnect on a single app for a while,
you will eventually run out of open files and the app
may crash. Happened to me with Mozilla and proxying
NNTP; would work for quite a while, then Mozilla would
suddenly die.
Found out that tconn.c does this:
fp = fopen (configfile, "r")
but never closes it again. Suggest adding after the
while (fgets....) block and before the for (lnnum =
0...) block:
if (fclose (fp))
{
perror ("Could not close config file");
}
Doesn't seem to do any harm, time will tell if it
solves the crashes.

Hi,
What version of transconnect are you using? I think I patched
this problem long ago. Try using 1.2 or 1.3 Beta. If the
problem persists, please inform me.
Cheers,

I built it from sources in the CVS trunk, which are up to
date: tconn.c rev 1.6. My sources do not include any call to
fclose() unless I apply the above patch.

Sorry Buddy,
I haven't updated the CVS for a long time (1 year) since I
moved from the university. Because my proxy here did not
allow me to use my own tool :(
Try downloading from the summary page.
I will update the CVS in my next release. Promise :)

OK, I will try downloading the prepackaged release. But it
would be good to at least put a warning into CVS that it is
out of date! It makes it harder for people to send you
patches and the like when the sources are obsolete.
